These winegrowers who are contributing to the growing reputation of the Coteaux du Petit Morin

Nestled between the prestigious Côte des Blancs and the Sézannais, the Coteaux du Petit Morin constitute a still-underestimated Champagne terroir of undeniable richness. Characterized by flint-rich clay soils and a layer of chalk essential to the vine's development, this region offers ideal conditions for growing Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Meunier.

Champagne Clément & Fils

Located in Congy, the family-run Clément & Fils estate has upheld tradition since 1981. Under the direction of Aurélien Clément since 2017, the estate spans 6.5 hectares, with 5.5 hectares in Congy and Coizard-Joches and 1 hectare in the Riceys in the Côte des Bar. Faithful to artisanal methods, Aurélien uses a 1958 Coquard vertical press and practices manual riddling on a traditional rack. Committed to environmentally friendly viticulture, he began converting to organic farming in 2020.

Champagne Jeaunaux-Robin

In Talus-Saint-Prix, the Jeaunaux-Robin estate, run by Clémence and Cyril Jeaunaux, has been certified organic since the 2018 harvest. Their approach aims to reveal the unique character of their terroir through meticulous vineyard work and careful vinification. Their cuvée "Le Talus de Saint Prix" perfectly illustrates this philosophy, offering an authentic expression of Meunier, complemented by Pinot Noir and a touch of Chardonnay.

Champagne Ulysse Collin

Olivier Collin, who has headed the Ulysse Collin estate since 2003, is one of the emblematic producers of the Coteaux du Petit Morin. His single-vineyard, single-varietal champagnes, vinified and aged in oak reflect the uniqueness of the terroir, notably thanks to the presence of black flint, which gives the wines characteristic smoky mineral notes. An essential reference in Champagne.

Other notable estates

The Maison Lefébure, Maxime Oudiette, and Oudiette et Filles in Beaunay are also undeniably among the winemakers who are actively contributing to the growing renown of the Coteaux du Petit Morin. Their commitment to respectful viticultural practices and their pursuit of quality help showcase this exceptional terroir.

With their diverse soils and the commitment of their winemakers, the Coteaux du Petit Morin offer champagnes of great finesse and remarkable aromatic complexity. These passionate artisans uphold traditions while innovating, thus contributing to the richness and diversity of Champagne's heritage.
