Founded in Cramant, a village in the “Côte des Blancs”, whose chalky soil makes the perfect home for chardonnay vines. It is one of the finest terroirs in the Champagne region and is the realm of “blanc de blancs” champagnes. Jacques Diebolt and Nadia Vallois are helped by their two children, Arnaud and Isabelle, who are taking an ever increasingly active part in the running of the estate.
PIERRE GIMONNET, Cote de Blancs
Rated by Robert Parker as “outstanding” and one of the top 15 producers in Champagne. One of the great grower families of the Côtes de Blancs, the Gimonnets produce what are probably called the bluest of blue chip Chardonnay Champagnes. The brothers Olivier and Didier start with distinct advantages. In Cuis since the 1700s, the family has amassed an important estate of 25 hectares in splendid sites, with 100+ year old vines in the grand crus of Cremant and Chouilly.
PIERRE PAILLARD, Bouzy
Brothers Quentin and Antoine Paillard are 8th generation growers running Champagne Pierre Paillard in Bouzy. The Paillards have been crafting wine in the Grand Cru village of Bouzy for more than 200 years. They now tend 11 hectares of vineyards divided between Pinot Noir (70%) and Chardonnay (30%) and farmed sustainably.
GOUTORBE BOUILLOT, Damery, Vallée de la Marne
The Goutorbe-Bouillot house is a small grower Champagne estate located in the village of Damery just west of Epernay. Family-owned and run since 1911, the 8 hectares of 30 different parcels of vineyards extend over the Vallée de la Marne with a focus on Pinot Meunier, Chardonnay, and Pinot Noir grapes. The union between Jules Goutorbe and Louise Bouillot was the origin of the creation of Champagne GOUTORBE-BOUILLOT.
The average age of the vineyard parcels is around 35 years old, though some parcels were planted in 1930 and are almost a century old. With great care for the quality and the health of the vines, Goutorbe-Bouillot is now certified as “viticulture durable”, which is the highest European standard of sustainable agriculture.
