Champagne Richard Cheurlin has made wine since the nineteenth century. Richard Cheurlin is the fourth generation. He arrived in 1978 and gave new life to the house: pest management, selection and specific vinification, barrel aging, looking for the perfect ripeness. The domain consists of 7 ha located in the Côtes des Bar, planted with pinot noir, as well as pinot blanc and chardonnay on a clay and limestone soil interspersed with white marl. As owner-growers, they make their champagnes with their own grapes.
Richard has bought small tanks to be able to identify each of the parcels planted with love, cuvees and separate sizes. In 1987, he launched the Cuvée Jeanne in memory of his grandmother which he makes and ages entirely in barrels. He was the first in the region to reuse barrels during the period when the explosion of stainless steel tanks dominated.
For 10 years now they have been working a part of their vineyard in organic viticulture without pesticides or herbicides. They encourage plant growth and use of essential oils. Thanks to specific vinification and progress towards a cleaner viticulture, their path is the better path.
