Our Vineyard

The vineyards of Champagne José MICHEL are planted at present with 45% of its area in Pinot Meunier, 45% in Chardonnay and 10% in Pinot Noir.
Reputed for his Pinot Meunier, José MICHEL combines these soil conditions advantageously to produce the best champagnes using high quality grapes.
In fact, the terroirs of Moussy, Pierry and St Martin d’Ablois are considered very good sectors for growing Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay.

The average age of our vines is 30 years with parcels reaching up to 50 years.
The quality of our grapes, so precious, demands that we work efficiently and in a sustained manner (reasoned estimates of inputs, plantation of green cover, limitation of yields …). Our cultivation methods incorporate the latest advances in vineyard management for better protecting the environment.
