Anecdotes about the domain
The vineyard is certified since High Environmental Value (HVE): a great pride for us who choose not to treat the vine against the possible diseases to which it is exposed.
The domain's short story
Between Reims and Epernay: it's in this mythical Chamapagne terroir that André Tixier et Fils is based. In 1926, in Chigny-les-Roses, a village classified as a premier cru, André Tixier gave birth to his son Robert, and decided to vinify his own juices so that he could sell his champagne under his own name. Almost 100 years later, Robert's son Patrice passed on the family know-how to his son Julien, in keeping with the Champagne family tradition. Maison Tixier's love of the vine shows no signs of waning: a source of pride for the elders and a guarantee of the company's longevity.
The winemaker's pride
The vineyard extends over 5 hectares in the prestigious terroir of the Montagne de Reims. Our cuvées are made from three noble grape varieties: Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay. These three grape varieties are grown on vines with an average age of 30 years. The vines grow in clay-limestone soil on slopes that benefit from plenty of sunshine. This produces grapes of the highest quality. Respectful of the environment and very attached to sustainable development, we choose to practise reasoned cultivation against possible diseases, really only treating when necessary.
