Guardians of the heritage and know-how of their ancestors for 3 generations, Champagne Yves Jacques run the family vineyard planted with the three Champagne grape varieties in the Marne Valley, the Cote des Blancs and the Aube, in the communes of Sézanne, Baye, but also Chouilly and Ay, classified as Grand Cru. Their Champagne wines are made in Baye, in their own cellars and in accordance with the traditional method.
“Anamnesis”
Vintage Champagnes are the memory of a family estate. The 2015 vintage was marked by exceptional sunshine between March and August. Strong heat between June and July with very little rain in contrast to a rather cool and rainy month of August allowing the grapes to ripen nicely. This Champagne is an homage to the terroir of Sézanne because it combines Chardonnays on chalky soils with Pinot Noirs on sandy soils. This vintage and the terroir offer us wines of exceptional freshness and delicacy. A Champagne to enjoy during intimate and prestigious moments.
