Located a stone's throw from the beautiful city of Troyes, Montgueux is a chalk hill with the only vines within 50km of it. We are proud to introduce you to this south-facing terroir, planted mainly in Chardonnay. For 40 years, we have practiced careful, thoughtful and reasonable viticulture there.

Our story

Our family has always had one foot in the vineyard. First as a complement to farming on the Troyes plain, then the city ate so much arable land in the 1950s that some bold farmers like Jean Velut, his wife and their son Denis decided to produce their own vintages. Great job taking it from them! Benoit is on their trail....

Other little stories

When we plant a vine, it is at least for 50 years. Each action must therefore be thought through. Patience, sharing, passion, and respect for the living are inseparable from our vision of Champagne. Take advantage of the bunches of grapes to discuss it with us!

"Without moles like Montgueux, something would be missing from the physiognomy of the Champagne region." Confidential terroir and off the beaten track, the "Montrachet de la Champagne" (it is a cellar master from Reims who says so!) reaches out to you, enhanced by our little hands!
