THE VINTAGES
A family-run Champagne house based in Verzenay,
a Grand Cru in the Montagne de Reims
Since 1946, Champagne Vignon Père & Fils, based in Verzenay in the heart of the Montagne de Reims, has been upholding a family heritage deeply rooted in Champagne tradition. Owner of 6.70 hectares of vineyards located exclusively on the Grand Cru terroirs of Verzenay and Verzy, it produces single-vineyard, vintage champagnes of the highest quality.
Driven by the passion of the third generation, the house favours artisanal winemaking: old Pinot Noir vines, barrel ageing, natural yeasts, no fining or filtration, and minimal chaptalisation.

Recognised as a benchmark amongst Champagne’s independent winegrowers, they combine sincerity, precision and character in every bottle.

Official certification in sustainable viticulture (HVE) is currently underway, affirming the estate’s commitment to biodiversity, environmental quality and responsible production.
