Winemaker: 

Benedicte Leroy's parents were originally sheep breeders in the village of Essoyes in Côte des bars –Aube. In 1980 they converted their land into vineyards, and step by step, they created a small Domaine of around 4 hectares. In 2009, when his father retired, Benedicte left his job as a PE teacher to gear his family's domaine. Since then, he has applied the biodynamic principles both in the vines and in the cave, aiming at producing the most natural Champagnes possible. Every Cuvée comes from a single year, a single parcel (Lieu-Dit) and always without dosage (Brut Nature).
