PRESENTATION: Franck and Christine, Cindy and
Florian embody the fourth and fifth generations of the
family who nurture their 10 hectares of vines, divided
between 80% Chardonnay and 20% Pinot noir in
Villers-Marmery (Premier Cru) and Verzy (Grand Cru).
Since 2004, the family has employed sustainable
vineyard management techniques in order to protect the
environment – tillage is used, weed killers and
insecticides are outlawed, organic fertilisers are chosen
and biodiversity is protected. Tillage practices now
involve all the soils with the ultimate objective of farming
entirely organically. In fact, the switch-over to organic
began in Verzy in 2017 and has since last year been
rolled out across the family’s vineyards. The estate has
been certified HVE since 2014.
