COURTOIS Champagne

ORIGINS :

This family-firm was founded in 1971, and our first wine came to be in 1973. We are located in Crouttes sur Marne, the first village in the Vallée de la Marne, 70 kilometres east of Paris.
Right from the beginning, our parents chose to be artisan winemakers, all the stages of the production of our wines are carried out on the premises, thus preserving the expression of our terroir and marking each wine with our own touch.
Fresh, sensual, elegant and gourmet, each wine will charm both occasional consumers and connoisseurs…

TERROIR :

[the unique combination of local soils and local climatic conditions]
Our different plots are located in three communes; Crouttes on Marne, represents 68% of our surface area, Charly on Marne 12% and saint Denis 20% . The cradle of winemaking is located in our cellar in Crouttes sur Marne, the furthest plot are only 2kms from it.
Regarding the western part of the Vallée de la Marne, the hillsides have a clay-limestone subsoil (Marne) bringing unctuousity, persistence and vivacity to our wines.
On the other hand, at the bottom of the hillsides between the villages of Crouttes sur Marne and Charly sur Marne, the subsoil is composed mainly of sand, bringing fluidity and lightness to our wines.
The blending of our wines from our different plots is a reflection of the terroir of our beautiful region.
