Champagne‌ Castelger is a family business located in Vauciennes (51480), in the Marne, on the north-eastern slope of the Vallée de la Marne near Épernay. The house is run by Florence, Nicolas and Virginie and, besides champagnes, also offers chambres d'hôtes (guest accommodation).

History

The business has been a family affair for five generations. The grapes are grown on 9 hectares of vineyard located exclusively within the territory of Vauciennes. The vineyards are HVE-certified (Haute Valeur Environnementale) and the average age of the vines is 40 years.

Vineyards and Approach

The vineyards have a semi-continental climate and clay-limestone soils. The grape harvest is by hand and the grapes are grown in a balanced way. The main grape varieties are:

Meunier: 46%
Chardonnay: 44%
Pinot Noir: 10%

Vinification follows the traditional méthode champenoise, with the wine ageing on the lees/laths (in bottles). The grapes are fermented in stainless steel tanks (cuves).

L'Ancestrale 2018
