Family Estates

A story where people meet Terroir !

 

Our domain consists of 7 ha located in the Côtes des Bar, planted with Pinot Noir, as well as Chardonnay and some Pinot Blanc, on a clay and limestone soil interspersed with white marl. As owner-growers, we make our champagnes with our own grapes. Oh what love - what care that we give to each one. Our lands are our garden, and this is why we give them the greatest care.

​

Richard Cheurlin is the fourth generation. He arrived in 1978 and gave new life to our house: controlled pest management, selection and specific winemaking, barrel aging, looking for the perfect ripeness...

Champagne is treated like a great wine. He has bought small tanks to be able to identify each of the parcels planted with love, cuvees and separate sizes. In 1987, he launched the Cuvée Jeanne in memory of his grandmother which he makes and ages entirely in barrels. He was the first in our region to reuse barrels during the period when the explosion of stainless steel tanks dominated.

​

And it's been over 20 years he has worked with a group of agronomists, researchers and winemakers to develop a more friendly viticulture for our environment. My father is a pioneer in the respect of our lands. Thanks to specific vinification and progress towards a cleaner viticulture, our path is the better path.

​

Today, Richard Cheurlin, descendant of one of the oldest families of owner-growers continues this tradition. On this domain, you will discover a rich and racy range with vines of more than 60 years!
