Arriving in Champagne from Paris the first area you meet is the Vallée de la Marne, a beautiful valley characterized by beautiful vineyards that degrade towards the river, vineyards whose undisputed king is the Pinot Meunier. In one of the villages of the Vallée, Vandières, we meet Bertrand Delouvin, a very welcoming vigneron who dedicates his excellent work almost exclusively to Pinot Meunier.
The Delouvin, winemakers in these areas since the 1500s, have started marketing champagne since 1949; Mr Bertrand cultivates the 6 hectares of property (5 vines to Pinot Meunier and 1 to chardonnay for the vintage cuesée Extra Sélection) in a rigorous manner, personally carrying out all the operations of winemaking and analysis, to ensure the specificity of its champagne and the result they are very pleasant champagne, which meet the favor of many tasters thanks to the particularity of pure Pinot Meunier vinified in a simple way, without frills or excess.
