Situated in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Champagne Pertois-Moriset has from the beginning been a family business and independently owned since its inception in 1951. When Yves Pertois and Janine Moriset married, they decided to create the brand Pertois-Moriset, as both had descended from wine-making families. Today, the estate is run by Cecile, the granddaughter of the original founders, and her husband Vincent. As independent grower-winemakers, Cecile and Vincent utilize their generations of vine and wine know-how to bring out the minerality and typicity of their excellent terroirs.

The vineyard boasts an area of 20.70 hectares, spread over two terroirs. Firstly, the Cote de Blancs, where 13.4 hectares are planted with 100% Grand Cru Chardonnay. Secondly, the Coteaux Sezannais, where 7.3 hectares are planted with 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay. Pertois-Moriset practices organic and sustainable farming practices. The vines are naturally grassed in winter, and in summer the soil is ploughed. All mechanical work is carried out with a 100% electric tractor.

Pertois-Moriset installed a new pressing center in 2009, equipped with two stainless-steel membrane presses, two thermo-regulated stainless-steel tanks, and a vat room for barrels and big oaks. Malolactic fermentation is often blocked during winemaking, allowing for extended bottle aging for their cuvees. Pertois-Moriset’s Chardonnay-dominated wines have complexity, incredible terroir transparency, and fresh minerality.
