Champagne

The Domaine

This is a 14 hectare family estate in Le Mesnil sur Ogier dating back to the 1900s. A wide use of Oak for fermentation gives complexity and richness while the blocking of malo helps retain the crispness of a great Champagne. Their rosé is a saignée method made from Pinot Meunier, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir and is a lovely deep colour and full of flavour. The 2 whites are 100% chardonnay aged for 4-5 years for the Jardins and 6-8 years for the Terre de Mesnil and both are Grand Cru.

The Domaine

Champagne Delavenne is a family-run independent house (Recoltant - Manipulant) in Bouzy producing single village (mono-cru) dual-vintage champagnes. Annual production here is just 65,000 to 70,000 bottles annually. 4th generation jean-Christophe Delavenne is now in charge of this award winning estate. The Champagnes are exclusively Grand Cru, low-manipulation, vegan friendly, no Malo. Each Champagne is very pure and very characterful.

The Domaine

This family have been cultivating the vineyards of Aube since the 50s. In 1989 Laurent Breton, youngest among his brothers, together with his wife Karine Breton decided launch their own winemaking activity in the Côte des Bars area near the village of Colombé-la-Fosse. In 2005, eager to develop their own Champagne, they decided to launch “Champagne Germar Breton”, produced and elaborated by Laurent Breton himself. The domaine is named after their daughters, Gersande and Marcelline Breton.
Their Champagnes are produced from a blend of Pinot Noir and the Chardonnay. The 7.5ha of vineyards lie overs 4 villages of Côte des Bars where the soil is particularly generous and the sunshine is ideal for viticulture. The wines all go through malo prior to bottling so the style is fairly easy-drinking with 8g/l dosage.
This is a young estate with a bright future ahead of them!

The Domaine

The estate was created in the 60's in Château-Thierry, by Robert Lété and Liliane Vautrain, his wife. They combined their surnames to create its brand. Their daughter, Michèle, and their son, Frédéric, developed the company afterwards.
In 2011, the estate was taken over by another Champagne family, the Baron-Fuenté Family, a family with long-standing winemaking knowhow in the Marne Valley. Our eight-hectare vineyard stretches across the town of Château-Thierry and the neighbouring village of Essômes-sur-Marne.

As a producer and wine-maker (Récoltant Manipulant), we grow the eight hectares of vineyards by ourselves. They are located on limestone slopes that benefit from excellent sun exposure. Harvesting is done with the greatest care using traditional methods.

Lété-Vautrain champagnes are expressive, round and balanced sparkling wines that delight the taste buds.
