Champagnes as close as possible to the terroir
Here, each champagne tells a story.
After years of cultivating vines for others, we launched the Champagne Valérie and Gaël Dupont adventure in 2019.
Our Champagnes are above all the result of patient work and a simple desire : to share sincere, precise and lively champagnes that we hope will delight your taste buds.
Cooperating... while remaining in control of our winemaking
In Champagne, particularly among our families, the cooperative tradition is deeply rooted. Our grapes are pressed and our cuvées produced within a small cooperative. We share state-of-the-art facilities, managed collectively by committed winegrowers, of which we are a part.
In 2019, we began producing our “Eveil” range of vintages, sourced exclusively from our vineyard. From the moment of pressing, we separate our grapes from those of other winegrowers, to reveal the full richness of our terroirs and our methods.
Natural and low-intervention practices
From the vineyard to the cellar, we prioritize respectful choices. Harvesting at optimal ripeness with manual sorting, slow pressing and careful settling, use of organic yeasts and very few sulfites, and aging on lees to promote the wines’ complexity. These practices minimize inputs and thus allow us to create pure and authentic champagnes.
A walk through our vineyard
Harvest 2022 + 25% reserve wines from the 2021 harvest
42% Meunier, 42% Chardonnay, 16% Pinot noir
Blending of 10 villages from Coteaux du Petit Morin, Massif de Saint-Thierry, Coteaux du Sézannais, and Vallée de l’Ardres.
Extra-brut (4 g/l)
Traveling through our vineyards is a chance to discover the richness and diversity of the Champagne terroirs.
From the limestone sands of the Saint-Thierry Massif to the chalky soils of the Coteaux du Sézannais, via the Ardres Valley and the Coteaux du Petit Morin, this cuvée reflects our vineyards spread across four winegrowing regions of the Marne department.
Our 6-hectare vineyard, anchored in the four corners of the Marne department, allows us to explore a mosaic of soils and microclimates, resulting in a champagne of beautiful complexity and perfect balance.
This cuvée embodies our vision of Champagne, guided by viticulture in transition to agroecology.
A few words about our champagnes
The Eveil range
“Eveil”: this is the name we chose to designate the first champagnes made exclusively from our grapes.
This term reflects our awareness of the need to reinvent our practices, as well as the gradual adoption of a more holistic approach to agriculture. It also reflects our growing commitment to winemaking. Through these vintages, we allow the pure and authentic aromas of our grapes to fully express themselves. The result? Champagnes of rare precision, both refined and vibrant, which we hope will awaken your senses.
Other vintages will be added to the Eveil range in the years to come. Patience…
Historical ranges
Our first two ranges, developed by blending our grapes with those of other cooperative winegrowers, are still available.
We have continued to produce these vintages until 2022.
You can find them at the estate or directly on our online store for a few more years.
