Aurélien Suenen, a native Champenois, crafts exceptional Champagnes from 3 hectares of superb parcels: Oiry, Cramant, and Chouilly (Chardonnay), as well as a small parcel of ungrafted Meuniers in the Vesle Valley.

Since 2012, when he took over from his father, he has invested in organic and biodynamic practices to allow the terroir to fully express itself in his wines. He has ceased all synthetic treatments in the vineyard and aims to achieve a balance between all the living organisms that make up his vineyard. The same philosophy applies to winemaking: indigenous yeasts, no fining, no filtration... Although natural processes are paramount, Aurélien's work remains precise and meticulous. His Champagnes are chiseled, express the minerality of each parcel, and possess a strong character.

Here at the shop, we also appreciate the great transparency of the information (excellent!) provided on the labels, map, terroir, technical information... A real plus for enthusiasts looking for small details about the winemaker's work!
