Son, grandson and great-grandson of winegrowers, Cédric Moussé took over the reins of the family estate in 2014 and modernised its his Champagne production from top to bottom.

Nothing is left to chance to produce 'better' and 'better': synthetic pesticides and chemical weed pesticides and chemical weeding, eco-pasturing, self-sufficiency in electricity, natural temperature control in the winery, and the use of mineral sulphur (not derived from petrochemicals), lower sugar content during disgorgement, lighter bottles, use of paper capsules... A fervent advocate defender of Pinot Meunier, he offers deep but energetic cuvées with a delicate bubble texture.

Since 1993, Valérie and Benoît Lahaye have been proving that a different kind of viticulture, one that respects the living world, is possible in Champagne. In their 5-hectare vineyard in Bouzy, they opted early on for organic vine management, ploughing the soil on horseback and reducing yields to promote aromatic concentration and terroir expression.

The Pinot Noir grape, which makes up the vast majority (88%) and is harvested at optimum ripeness, gives their Champagnes exceptional fruity intensity and persistence, enhanced by very low sugar and sulfur levels. The uniqueness of Benoît Lahaye's cuvées, but above all their quality and consistency, are unanimously acclaimed by the various critics: Gault & Millau named him Vigneron of the Year 2022, En Magnum considers him “one of the most gifted winemakers of his generation”, and the Revue du Vin de France has just awarded him a third star...

The Grand Cru Millésime 2014, made up of 80% pinot noir and 20% chardonnay, is the sincerest expression of the Bouzy terroir, full of length and distinction.

In 2011, the Descours family took over this old House (1851) with the aim of restoring it to its 19th century glory. The gamble paid off, and was widely acclaimed by the critics: "Charles Heidsieck richly deserves to be considered one of today's most brilliant brands" for Mr Bettane, "Heidsieck is back in the limelight with a complete range of top-class wines" for the Revue du Vin de France.

Predominantly Chardonnay, the 'Charles' style is based on elegance and, above all, great freshness tempered by long maturation (from 5 years for the Brut Réserve to 15 years for the Blanc des Millénaires) in their famous chalk pits near Reims. Throughout the range, there's no trace of oxidation, no rancio, just an extreme smoothness. Great art!
