Champagne Henry de Vaugency is a family business based in Oger (51190), in the heart of the Côte des Blancs, with a history going back to 1732. The house is currently run by Delphine and Pascal Henry, the eighth generation of winegrowers, and is known for its exclusive focus on the Chardonnay grape.
- History: Production and recipes are passed down from generation to generation. The family history includes figures such as Pierre-Narcisse Henry (1808-1875) and René-Paul Henry (1942), with Pascal Henry active since 1975.
- Vineyards: The grapes come from Grand Cru vineyards in Oger, one of the highest-quality areas in the region. The house produces exclusively Blanc de Blancs (100% Chardonnay) champagnes from these most highly regarded terroirs.
- Winemaking: All production steps take place on site, including pressing, vinification in stainless steel cuves, tirage, ageing and bottling. Traditional elements such as a wooden Coquard press and mechanical riddling (gyropalette) are combined with modern techniques. The house also offers demonstrations of the traditional "dégorgement à la volée" (manual disgorging without freezing) during visits.
- Champagnes: The range includes several cuvées, including:
- Cuvée Louis: A sugar-free, complex and powerful champagne.
- Cuvée Manon: A round and harmonious champagne with aromas of white flowers and citrus.
- Cuvée des Amoureux: An elegant champagne with nuts and confectionery notes, ideal for special occasions.
- Cuvée Rosé d'Agathe: A rosé Blanc de Blancs, created by maceration of Pinot Noir in Chardonnay must.
