About this house
The Champagne House is located in Berru on the Montagne de Reims. The vineyards stretch over the slopes of 3 crus around Reims and Epernay: Berru, Montbré and Avenay-Val-d'Or, the latter two classified as premiers crus. The 3 grape varieties that give our wines their identity are grown here: mainly Chardonnay, Meunier and Pinot Noir. As an independent winemaker, we produce our Champagnes from A to Z on our own estate, with grapes grown exclusively on our own vines. Our estate is currently undergoing conversion to organic farming.

Chef's word
Chef PHILIPPE MILLE
"Witnessing the soul of Champagne isn't just about cooking the terroir... it's about understanding who it is!
Having worked in the kitchens of Messrs Bordier, Grondart, Anton and Roth, and as Yannick Alléno's right-hand man at Le Scribe and then Le Meurice, he brought Domaine Les Crayères its first macaron in 2011, followed by a second in 2012, which he has kept for over 10 years.
His menu is inspired by the seasons and the Champagne region.
