Champagne Noël Bazin is a small-scale family business in the Premier Cru village of Villers-Marmery (Montagne de Reims), run by Noël and Magali Bazin.
- History: The Bazins are descendants of Champenois winegrowers; Noël had been working on the family estate since 1988 but only launched his own champagne house in 1999 with 3,000 bottles. Today the business is supported by their son Hugo.
- Vineyards: The estate covers just over 3 hectares spread over 20 to 25 plots in Villers-Marmery and the neighbouring Verzy (Grand Cru). The vineyards are planted exclusively with Chardonnay (Blanc de Blancs), with vines ranging from 5 to 60 years old.
- Approach: Work is done with respect for nature and tradition, with the vineyard work (pruning, tying, harvesting) done largely by hand. Vinification is mainly in stainless steel, but oak barrels and a solera system for reserve wines are also used to guarantee continuity and depth.
- Champagnes: The style is pure, refined and mineral. Well-known cuvées are L'Unanime (Blanc de Blancs Brut NV), La Révélation (Brut Nature) and L'Étonnante (barrel-aged). The yield of one hectare is sold to Veuve Clicquot, while the rest is used for the estate's own labels.
