Located in the heart of the Côte des Bar region, Marcel Deheurles & Fils has been producing and marketing Champagne for several decades.

Marcel Deheurles founded the Champagne house in his name with his wife Annick in 1970. Naturally, their son Benoît took up the torch in 2006 and continues the family tradition. He is currently the estate’s winemaker, manager and sales representative.

The estate manages 7 hectares of vines with respect for nature and the environment, and grows 3 Champagne grape varieties: Pinot Blanc, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, certified HVE (High Environmental Value).

Vineyard philosophy

Benoit inherited his passion and know-how from his parents, who in turn inherited them from their own parents. He is committed to respecting the terroir he has inherited and, with this in mind, takes a qualitative, reasoned approach to vine-growing.

He constantly monitors the vines and pays close attention to their development, in order to prevent risks and treat them only when necessary.

To make a great wine, you need to know your terroir; Benoît is well aware of this, which is why he takes the time to study and care for his land to bring out the best in it.

Right from the first year of operation, a survey of the land was carried out to gain a complete understanding of the terroir.

Benoit keeps a close eye on his vines to determine the exact starting date of the harvest: he waits for the grapes to reach ideal maturity so he can extract all their aromas.

Work well done, passion and love of the terroir are the watchwords of the domaine.
