About the producer!

“Pierre learned to walk in the vineyards alongside his father Paul, who himself continued a line of winegrowers started in 1610. After his great-grandfather Léon, his grandfather Henri and his father Paul, Pierre followed his own path… in the heart of pleasant grassy vineyards in Ambonnay. Thus aware of having inherited a land and cultural heritage born from the courage of their predecessors, Pierre and Sophie Déthune honor it and are attentive to the paths they take… as well as to the mark they will leave. They practice the demanding profession of Harvester-Handler ,  Independent Winemaker with a diligent approach to sustainable development*. Considering the lineage that extends behind them and that which is emerging on the horizon, the couple considers themselves as the generational relay of a timeless heritage. It is with quality and respect for the environment and people that they produce a range of ten 100% Grand Cru champagnes .”
