The winery is family-run and involves not only Alain Reaut but also his wife Thérèse and their children Laure and Alexander, the former an international environmental law student and the latter already engaged in the family business after a six-month internship in Australia. Alain learned from two great Champagne experts, Jean-Pierre Fleury and Eric Schreiber, who shared with him their knowledge regarding the principles of biodynamic agriculture for a refined and quality final product. Today, the “three musketeers” cultivate the grapes together on 30 hectares of land and then market them separately, each under their own brand.
