Although the \u003cstrong\u003e0.9 hectares over three parcels\u003c\/strong\u003e that Stephanie and Julien farm does not sound like a large amount of land, it is not their full time job. For some years now they have had their own business as \u003cstrong\u003eviticultural contractors throughout Champagne\u003c\/strong\u003e. This stretches from day to day management for some of the larger producers around them, to spending a month each harvest around Les Riceys picking. Their love of Champagne was late blossoming. When working in the vineyards, many of their employers would gift them a bottle of Champagne after harvest. Sadly, it was usually the lesser quality wines and the taste and high acid was not for them. Fortunately they were also often given Ratafia, which they did enjoy. This led them on a slightly obsessive drive to create their own \u003cstrong\u003eRatafia\u003c\/strong\u003e, starting with a purchase of a strip of land in Barzy. Even then they knew how they wished to farm, \u003cstrong\u003eBiodynamics and the use of permaculture\u003c\/strong\u003e where possible. Like Olivier and Marie they also take on six rows of vines on each side of their rows, to guarantee that the neighbours are not spraying close to their vines. Over time, they then were able to taste a few of the more well known producers from the \u003cstrong\u003egrower Champagne movement\u003c\/strong\u003e. In particular those who work in a slightly more oxidative way. Experiments started with success. Two more parcels were added Connigis and just last year Chery. All the wines are in \u003cstrong\u003ebarrel around 9 months in the cellar\u003c\/strong\u003e, which has no temperature control, so malolactic is a given. \u003cstrong\u003eBattonage is in line with the lunar calendar.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"z-0 flex min-h-[46px] justify-start\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pointer-events-none -mb-px h-px w-full opacity-0\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"chevreux-bournazel-millesime-2017","title":"Chevreux Bournazel Millesime 2017","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(96, 7, 18);\"\u003eSome wines listed online are held separately from our bar stock.
