Depuis 1847, la passion de la vigne se transmet de génération en génération dans la Famille MICHEL. Au cœur du vignoble champenois, à quelques kilomètres d’Épernay, sur la commune de Moussy, nos vignes sont plantées en Meunier, Chardonnay et Pinot Noir. Ces trois cépages donnent des cuvées bien distinctes riches d’une diversité de saveurs singulières.
----
Since 1847, the passion for the vine has been passed down from generation to generation in the MICHEL Family. In the heart of the Champagne region, a few kilometers from Épernay, in the village of Moussy, our vineyard of 12 hectares of vines is planted with Meunier, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. These three grape varieties give very distinct cuvées rich in a diversity of unique flavors.
Champagne Minard & Filles: A Family and Passion Story
The Heritage of a Terroir
The history of Champagne Minard & Filles takes root in Courmas in 1922. Four generations of men (Lucien, René, Patrick) succeeded each other before Audrey Minard took over the reins and created the brand «Minard & Filles» with her husband Richard. This name is a tribute to the new generation: their two daughters, Léanne and Abigaël, as well as their nieces, Ondine and Eléonore.
The vineyard is located in the heart of the Petite Montagne de Reims and extends over 4.13 hectares through three communes: Courmas, Coulommes-la-Montagne and Tramery. It is here, in these hilly lands where Pinot Meunier, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay flourish, that the Minard family has chosen to link its destiny to that of the vine. For more than a century, she has cultivated her land with a deep respect for the Champagne terroir, passing on from generation to generation the precise gestures that make the quality of great wines.
The Transmission to Women
What makes the strength and uniqueness of the house is its signature: Minard & Filles. This name affirms a desire to perpetuate family know-how while instilling a new sensitivity. By placing the "girls" at the heart of the operation, the house emphasizes that champagne is above all a matter of heart and transmission. This handover allows to marry the experience of the elders with today’s sustainable practices.
The Spirit of the House
Today, Champagne Minard & Filles does not content itself with producing bubbles; it cultivates a way of life. Each bottle is the result of rigorous craftsmanship:
• The Culture: A daily and meticulous care brought to the vineyard.
• Vinification: A precise blend to achieve the perfect balance.
• Sharing: A welcoming house, faithful to the spirit of authentic winemaker.
"Choosing a Minard & Filles cuvée is entering into our history and sharing a bit of the soul of our family."
PLURIEL: adjective / Composed of multiple elements.
Terroirs PLURIEL
Our vineyard lies on the right bank of the Marne Valley, spanning 11 hectares across the villages of La Neuville-aux-Larris, Cuchery, Dormans, and Hautvillers. This mosaic allows us to showcase and harmonize the region’s diverse terroirs, each contributing its own unique character. Rooted mainly in clay-limestone and green clay soils, our vines thrive in an environment perfectly adapted to Meunier, the emblematic grape variety that defines the identity of our maison.
Vision PLURIEL
We are deeply committed to caring for our soils and protecting the environment that sustains us. This conviction guides our efforts to adopt regenerative and sustainable practices throughout our vineyard. In the direction of a gradual transition, we make deliberate choices to preserve and enrich our ecosystem. On carefully selected plots, we cultivate plant cover that supports pollinators, creating habitats that foster biodiversity. Our ambition is to extend these practices to ensure the longevity of our vines and the surrounding landscapes.
Vinifications PLURIEL
In crafting our champagnes, our goal is to reveal the very best expression of our terroirs. To achieve this, we experiment with different vinification methods while constantly exploring new possibilities. Each cuvée is a vintage that highlights the character of a given harvest. Our ambition is to let our wines express themselves with authenticity and integrity; without artifice. By minimizing the use of additives, we allow each cuvée to unveil its pure, raw personality, a true reflection of its origins.
Design PLURIEL
Guided by our sensitivity to art and design, we collaborate with emerging talents to reinterpret our craft through a contemporary lens. Photographers, architects, designers; each partnership highlights young creators who merge tradition and innovation, enriching our identity while revealing their bold vision.
Family estate located in Passy sur Marne in the Marne Valley since 1954. On a 15-hectare estate, the majority is Meunier (60%), accompanied by Pinot Noir (20%) and Chardonnay (20%), with annual production of 90,000 bottles/year.
We make Champagnes from all three grape varieties, and also some 100% Meunier Champagnes.
In the 1950s, Georges Serveaux was one of the few visionaries to believe in the development of vineyards in the Marne Valley. Penniless, he went into debt to a World War I survivor whose pension helped him buy his first hillside plots. With little idea of how he would repay the loan, he began clearing the land. In particular, he uprooted a walnut tree, which delighted a timber merchant. With his debt paid off, Georges continued to invest...
Pascal Serveaux, his son, accompanied by his wife Martine Serveaux, continued the work undertaken by Georges for forty years, developing the vineyard plantations to reach a vineyard of 15 hectares, mostly Meunier.
Today, Elodie, Nicolas and Hugo Serveaux, Pascal and Martine's children and Georges' grandchildren, continue the work begun by the two previous generations.
The wines continue to be made in the house that was built with the stones that Georges Serveaux extracted from his land to plant his first vines.
MEUNIER: AN IMPRINT
Since 1954, the meunier grape variety has had a strong presence on the estate, since Georges decided to grow it in his first plantings.
Planted mainly on clay-limestone soils, Meunier expresses fresh fruit notes, minerality and finesse due to the limestone subsoil and south-southwest exposure on the Méandre de Passy sur Marne.
