CHAMPAGNE VOLLEREAUX
Since 1805, the Vollereaux family has owned 40 hectares of vines spread over 13 communes in the Côteaux sud d'Epernay/Sézannais area, including Pierry, classified as a Premier Cru. Now it's the turn of the 6th generation to continue the work begun more than two centuries ago. Today, as in the past, the Vollereaux family works as a family: Franck Vollereaux vinifies, Hélène Vollereaux welcomes the public and is in charge of wine tourism, and Jean-Marie Vollereaux cultivates the vines. With its relaxed, classic style, Vollereaux Champagne is a creator of occasions, and the estate's wine tourism experience is built around different timeframes, from short breaks to half-day tours. Whichever formula is chosen, visitors will enjoy a break that takes them to the heart of Vollereaux's family heritage.
