Aurélien Suenen, a native of Champagne, produces exceptional Champagnes from 3 hectares of very beautiful plots: Oiry, Cramant and Chouilly (Chardonnay) as well as a small plot (Meunier) of ungrafted vines in the Vesle valley.

As early as 2012, when he took over from his father, he invested in organic and biodynamic practices to allow the terroir to fully express itself in his wines. He stopped 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 or filtration... Although natural processes are the keywords, Aurélien's work remains precise and very meticulous. His Champagne wines are chiseled, express the minerality of each plot, and have a strong character.

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