THE COMPANY

The Normand family has been living and cultivating vines for six generations now in the Aube region, in the small commune of Bar-sur-Seine, one of the three most interesting villages, along with Les Riceys and Neuville-sur-Seine, for the cultivation of pinot noir in the CĂ´te-de-Bar, an area that has begun to establish itself less than a decade ago as one of the most vocated for the production of blanc de noirs. It is Simon Normand, together with his older sister Marie, and with the help of his parents Jean-Louis and Odile, who run the 11.5 hectares that make up the Domaine and that are divided into 35 micro-plots, with an average age of the vines of 35 years, located in the two villages of Bar-sur-Seine and Merrey-sur-Arce. Great interest in preserving biodiversity and landscape, confirmed by the fact that the Domaine was the first in 2013 to be certified “Viticulture Durable en Champagne.” But above all, great work done with passion, both in the vineyard and then in the winemaking stages in the new “passive” cellar, designed and built in harmony with the surroundings and nature. All the wines on offer, including the Coteaux Champenois, are always produced from one or more well-defined parcels, to bring out the terroir to the fullest, thus highlighting even the smallest facets that underlie the philosophy of this small Domaine. A true rising star of the appellation, which thanks to its fine and elegant wines, with long stays on the lees, fully represents today the champagnes of the CĂ´te-de-Bar.
