Introduction

The Bourgeois-Diaz champagne house has been cultivating vines for four generations on the slopes of Crouttes sur Marne, Nanteuil sur Marne and Villiers Saint Denis, all of which are facing south-south-west: 3.5 ha of Pinot Meunier, 2 ha of Pinot Noir and 1.5 ha of Chardonnay, making up a total of 7 hectares.

Extreme care is taken over the cultivation of the vines: pruning for quality, systematic removal of suckers, working the soil and organic fertilising. The estate is in the process of being converted to organic agriculture.

The grapes are pressed in traditional Coquard presses and then vinified in stainless steel vats or oak barrels. Optimal maturity is always sought, which means that very little or no chaptalisation needs to take place. Malolactic fermentation is carried out. Oak barrels are used for the special blend, “La Cuvée du Fils” (“the son’s blend”).
