Summary
The Geoffroy family are 5th generation grape growers, though it was not until the 1970’s that they began keeping their entire harvest for their own production. Originally based in Cumières, 11 of their 14 ha of vineyard holdings are located in this warm Premier Cru site in the Marne Valley. The other 3 ha of vineyards are located in Damery, Hautvillers, and Fleury-la-Riviere. Most of the plantings are devoted to Pinot Noir and Meunier, with only 19% planted to Chardonnay. The resulting Champagnes are known for their richness, structure, and depth of fruit.
Style & Vinification Techniques
The base wines are fermented in oak, although they do not receive malolactic fermentation.
