Champagne Maurice Grumier is a family-run business in Venteuil (Vallée de la Marne) that has been winegrowers since 1743, but only began its own champagne production in 1928 under the leadership of Amand Grumier. The brand name was later introduced by his son Maurice, and the estate has been run since 1999/2006 by the current generations (Fabien, Hélène and Françoise).
- Vineyards: The estate has 7.5 to 8.5 hectares of vineyard on the southern slopes of the Marne Valley. The soil is rich in chalk and the grape varieties are divided into Pinot Meunier (55-70%), Pinot Noir (25-30%) and Chardonnay (20-25%).
- Winemaking: The champagnes are produced entirely on site with respect for tradition. A distinctive method is ageing in oak barrels and the use of a Solera system for the Réserve Perpétuelle, in which champagnes from several years (e.g. 2005-2011) are blended.
- Champagnes: The range includes various cuvées such as Blanc de Noirs, Blanc de Blancs, Rosé and the prestige cuvées Cuvée Amand and Cuvée Aline. Non-dosage versions such as Instant Nature and Les Plates Pierres are also offered.
Visitors can visit the estate for tastings, walks and direct sales, usually by appointment. The contact details are: 13 route d'Arty, 51480 Venteuil, telephone +33 3 26 58 48 10 and e-mail [email protected].
