CHAMPAGNE DREMONT MARROY

Who are we

Mélanie & Jean-Rémi Drémont

✨ In 2018, at under 30 years old, my brother and I took over the vineyard. We became the 4th generation of vine-growers and the 1st of winemakers to produce our own Champagnes. We are a true family estate, authentic and passionate, and we are committed to sharing the values of simplicity and joie de vivre that have been passed down to us.

We are grateful to our parents, who planted most of the vineyard, increasing it from 1 hectare to 7.5 hectares. Thanks to their support, we built our cellar and began vinification. Today, we can discover the wines from our 24 plots and better understand our complex terroir, located at the far western edge of Champagne, in one of the largest meanders of the Marne River.

🌿 Certified organic since the 2022 harvest, our aim is to let each plot express its own character while protecting the biodiversity of our terroir. We work some of our parcels with our own draft horse, Bijou.

🍇 Each plot is vinified and aged separately in the vessel best suited to reveal it:

—Small stainless steel tanks

—Concrete eggs (egg-shaped tanks made from raw clay-based concrete)

—Barrels of 350L to 600L (demi-muids in French oak from granitic terroir)

In line with our philosophy, we intervene as little as possible in the winemaking process. To preserve freshness and liveliness, we do not carry out malolactic fermentation, and we age the wines for 11 months on lees before bottling. This gives us a wide and expressive aromatic palette, allowing us to be free and creative when blending our wines. The bottles are then aged on lees for 3 to 5 years.

✨ Our Champagnes are divided into three ranges:

“Les Origines” are extra-brut blended cuvées, named after old Champagne terms (« Le Triau », « La Lierie », « Les Rosiers »). These wines tell the story of our vineyard and the know-how passed down through generations, with an authentic and lively style that reflects our work as passionate growers.

“Les Méandres” expresses our terroir, one of the largest meander of the marne river through two complex cuvées, one from black grapes « Noir de Méandre », one mainly from white « Blanc de Méandre ».

“Les Éclosions” are vintage, single-varietal, brut-nature wines, vinified and aged in ovoid concrete tanks (eggs), revealing pure fruit, linearity of the vintage, and soil clarity. Éclosion : The act of emerging from the egg.
