The village of Bouzy is renowned as one of the best sites for Pinot Noir in Champagne and the Vesselle family boasts some of the finest Pinot Noir plots in the region. With a legacy of farming going back over 300 years, they have been leaders in crafting exceptional Blanc de Noir (100% Pinot) champagnes. The stewardship of their land has been passed down through generations from father to son and now to daughter! Committed to sustainability, they achieved HVE and VDC certification in 2019 (high sustainability standards specific to Champagne).
