Les Riceys offers a terroir with an exceptional richness and typicity, composed by clay-limestone soils. Our soils are conducive to Pinot Noir and Chardonnay growing, that you will find mainly in our champagnes. Christophe Dechannes is one of those passionate Champagne winemakers who produce wines from know-how handed down from father to son, with a vineyard of 9 hectares. Roland Dechannes started to make his Champagne in 1973, and his son, Christophe, continue to develop the familial estate with the brand Champagne Christophe Dechannes, along with his wife, Christine, and their children Romain and Laura. From hand picking to commercialisation of our products, our champagne is produced in the pure respect of traditional methods, with the aim of a reasoned approach and friendly to the environment.
