Introduction

Coming from a long line of winemakers, the Gratiot family is to be found right in the middle of Charly-sur-Marne. Deeply anchored in their ancestral roots, and passionately attached to their land, the Gratiots cultivate their 17 hectares of vineyards on the slopes round Charly-sur-Marne and the neighbouring villages, using rational viticulture. They produce 180 000 bottles per year.

The key to the skills of the Gratiot family lies in the mastery of the quality of their grapes. The three champagne grape varieties, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and especially the Pinot Meunier are used in the development of the cuvées. With vines of an average age of 30 years, the combination of these varieties and the terroirs they grow on give a unique palette of flavours. This allows the skills of the family to produce champagnes which truly respect the traditions of Champagne.
