Over half a century of an environmentally respectful winegrowing.

organic viticulture since 1971

When he founded our Maison in 1971, Yves Ruffin immediately rejected the use of pesticides newly arrived. He chose to continue using historical techniques of winegrowing: the use of ploughs to control grassing, and Bordeaux mixture to fight against diseases.

This decision made him one of the pioneers of organic viticulture in Champagne. Today, we perpetuate the traditions he fought for in his time.

TERROIR

Our vineyard is located in Avenay-Val-d'Or. We developped it thanks to different acquisitions in our village and in Tauxières-Mutry. Today we own 3 hectares.


GRAPE VARIETY

We equally grow Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The great Vallée de la Marne and Montagne de Reims are both famous for the quality of their Pinot Noir. The Chardonnay, being a very adaptable cepage, is also flourishing in our plots.

QUALITY

We know that quality of grapes is at the origin of wine quality. That is why we take great care of our plots in order to propose the best cuvees.

oak and acacia

Our wines are matured in oak and acacia old barrels only. Acacia is an essence of wood that is rarely used in cooperage. It brings aromas of honey and white flowers to the wine. 

After bottling, we let our champagnes age for at least 5 years so that they develop the tertiary aromas that characterize our cuvées.
