Olivier, who is an oenologist by trade, is immersed in growing the “Meunier”, this typical and unpredictable grape variety of the Marne river Valley. They treasure their old vineyards that express so well the personality and the earthy touch of their 17 plots. They look after them with regular hoeing and a natural green cover. Vineyard zoning The harvest and the grapes pressing are mastered while respecting each kind of soil: clay, tuff, sand, and silt. The complexity of each Champagne blend shows this variety. In the cellar, the champagne batches come mainly from “Meunier”. The wine making process takes place in small stainless steel vats with temperature control and also in barrels. Signature blends Olivier produce six original batches, including “Bel Instant” (90% Meunier), “Bleu Chic” (Meunier highlighted by Chardonnay) and “Clair Obscur” (perfect harmony between Pinot and Meunier sublimated thanks to a wine-making process in barrels).
