Bourgeois Diaz Champagne - Champagne - 3C

The Bourgeois-Diaz Estate is now run by the fourth generation of the family, Jérôme Bourgeois, born in 1977. Carrying on the family tradition, he felt the need to go beyond it from an early age—inspired by his encounters with numerous winemakers in the Loire Valley, he decided in 2009 to convert the estate to organic and then biodynamic farming, eliminating all synthetic chemicals. His wife, Charlotte, joined the estate in 2016 and now plays a key role in overseeing and enhancing the quality of the champagnes.

The vineyard, located in Crouttes-sur-Marne and the neighboring villages of the Marne Valley, spans approximately 7 hectares—3.5 hectares of Pinot Meunier, 2 hectares of Pinot Noir, 1.3 hectares of Chardonnay, and a small plot of Pinot Blanc. The vines, with an average age of 40 years, draw their vitality from clay-limestone soils. Demeter-certified since 2014, the estate excludes all pesticides and chemical fertilizers—to such an extent that grapes from rows adjacent to plots treated by other producers are meticulously removed during the harvest.

Each grape variety and each plot is vinified separately using indigenous yeasts, in stainless steel tanks, oak barrels, and sometimes concrete or stoneware vessels—a diversity of containers that enhances the complexity and freshness of the blends, a hallmark of the Bourgeois-Diaz style.
