Description

It could be called “Back to the roots,” it is the story of two brothers Clement and Antoine who decided to restore an authentic family heritage in the land of Champagne. Maison Pertois-Lebrun was founded in 1955 in Cramant by their grandfathers Paul Pertois and Francois Lebrun, both winemakers in Cramant and Mesnil sur Oger in the Cote de Blanc area, to this day run by their grandsons themselves since 2004. Having grown up in Provence, they moved to Champagne to devote themselves to viticulture, inheriting the family vineyards, which cover 9.5 hectares among the area’s five most prestigious Grand Crus (Cramant, Le Mesnil sur Oger, Chouilly, Oger and Oiry) where Chardonnay expresses itself at high-class levels. The winery’s philosophy is very traditional in which they try to intervene as little as possible while preserving the peculiarities of the various types of terroir (they practice certified Bio eco-sustainability), little work in the cellar with separate vinifications of each parcel, long stays on the lees of at least 9 months and bottle aging from 4 to 8 years. Identity wines created from the small details.
