History: La Vigneronne started in 1965 with 40 winegrowers from 25 villages. The cooperative currently has 240 winegrowers from 35 villages around the small village of Serzy et Prin in the AOC Champagne Region.
Regional information: The Champagne region, located in northeastern France, is renowned for producing the world's most famous sparkling wines under strict appellation rules. Its cool climate and chalky soils are ideal for growing the three main grape varieties—Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier—giving Champagne its signature freshness, elegance, and fine bubbles. Wines must undergo a second fermentation in the bottle and extensive ageing on lees, practices that contribute to their complexity and refined character.
Vinification: This Champagne is harvested by hand and undergoes alcoholic fermentation for 15 days using yeast at 10 g/hl in stainless steel tanks at 18°C, followed by malolactic fermentation for one month. A portion (30%) also undergoes malolactic fermentation in oak barrels, where it is aged for eight months. The Champagne is then kept on its lees for two years, contributing to its complexity and character.
