Catherine and Pascal Mazet established their organic domaine in 1981 and were certified in 2009. They have 2.5 hectares of premier cru in the Montagne de Reims communes Chigny-les-Roses and Ludes, and the grand cru, Ambonnay. Their son Olivier joined in 2019 and incorporated agroforestry to further improve nature’s interaction with their mildly steep hills of chalk, clay and sand. Natural fermentations and sur lie aging take place in old oak barrels for fifteen months with some cuvées blended with a 5000-liter “solera” foudre topped up since 1981. Bottle maturation on lees lasts for a minimum of five years, and the dosage is specific for each wine.
