Monsieur Mercier is an energetic winemaker who loves travel and photography. He has a weakness for white grapes, despite he is based in the West of the Marne, where Pinot Meunier is the master.
During the harvest period, he avails of the collaboration of several Parisian students, who spend a period of work and leisure here, helping to enliven this part of a sleepy little territory.
This joie de vivre of this manufacturer is then reflected in his champagne, which is always crisp and fresh. Read more
