More Details
A Legacy of Generations
The Konrat estate represents the perfect symbiosis between two worlds of wine expertise: centuries-old winemakers from Champagne and tonneliers from the Anjou region. The family made its history in the high-altitude vineyards of Montigny-sous-Châtillon. With horse and plow, they worked their land, built their own press, and created a wine cellar where natural fermentation in wooden barrels took center stage. Their goal was clear: to produce a champagne of exceptional quality, from vineyard to bottle.
Today, Marc, a fourth-generation winemaker, proudly carries on this legacy. Together with Faustine, he combines traditional expertise with modern precision, resulting in champagnes that are both authentic and surprisingly contemporary.
A Terroir with Distinctive Character
With 7 hectares of sandy-limestone and clay-limestone soils in a single commune, Domaine Konrat offers ideal conditions for elegant champagnes with a distinctive identity:
● The south and west slopes provide warmth and ripeness
● The north and east exposures bring freshness and minerality
● Top Cuvées are created in vineyards such as "Le Clos des Menues Raies" and "La Pierre Saint-Philippe"
The unique sand in the soil gives the wines their characteristic refinement, while the limestone soil provides depth and complexity.
A Clear Philosophy
Champagne Konrat adheres to three unwavering principles:
1. Each grape is carefully selected
2. Each cuvée tells a unique story
3. Time is an essential part of the process
The estate is currently in transition to organic certification, with a full focus on local production from grape to final product.

Autréau Lasnot
Sinds 1932 werkt de familie Autréau-Lasnot op hetzelfde terroir in Venteuil, diep in de Vallée de la Marne. Vandaag runnen de broers Fabrice en Florent het domein als vijfde generatie, samen met hun vrouwen Véronique en Virginie. Pinot Meunier is hier geen bijrol maar de hoofdact: fruitig, rond en vol karakter.
Guy Charbaut | Hélène Charbaut
De familie Charbaut maakt al bijna negentig jaar champagne in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, en met Hélène aan het roer is het huis er alleen maar interessanter op geworden.
