Maison Aubry is based in that corner north of the Montagne de Reims, in the small hamlet of Jouy-Les-Reims classified as a Premier Cru in the Champagne area. Since 1986, the Aubry winery has been run by brothers Pierre and Philippe Aubry, descendants of a family dedicated to viticulture since 1790. Oenologist graduated from the 'Ecole Nationale Superieure d'Agronomie' the former, biologist the latter, the two brothers have been able to make the most of the family's know-how by offering a series of cuveés with a unique character: a winning mix of love for tradition and an innovative approach to oenology.
The philosophy of the Aubry winery is easily summarized in a few but significant words: rigor, respect for traditions, originality and creativity. Rigor of the agronomist who obsessively privileges the quality of the grapes at the expense of quantity; respect for traditions with the use of traditional machinery, selection of the "coeur de la cuvé" and élevage in wooden barrels; originality of an individual imprint different from all other Champagnes, creativity with the search for old vines, to revive the wine of the late 18th century, a very lively wine that saw the birth of the Aubry cellars. In the 15 hectares of vineyards, consisting of some 60 plots, the brothers grow the three classic Champagne grape varieties, namely Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay, but for their rosé they also use a small percentage of Pinot Blanc. Pierre and Philippe are also involved in the recovery of rare grape varieties, now endangered, such as Arbanne, the ancient Petit Meslier and Enfumé, known as Blanc Vrai.
The result of all this is absolutely original Champagnes, each with its own precise characteristic that sets it apart, but all equally valid: wines to be tasted carefully to grasp all their nuances. A range of bubbles of extreme quality, elegant, exciting and unique, to rediscover the extraordinary artisanal style of Champagne.
