The Champagne wine region Champagne approximately 34,200 hectares and offers a wide variety of wines. This mosaic of terroirs spans five French departments.
What makes our vineyard so special is its northern location, at the very northern limit of viticulture. It benefits from a dual climatic influence, a key factor in the finesse of our champagnes.
Oceanic Influence:
It provides a steady supply of water with moderate temperature fluctuations between seasons.
Continental Influence:
This climate ensures optimal sunshine in the summer, but exposes the vines to severe winter and spring frosts, forcing the vines to concentrate their aromas.
The Champagne vineyards are a landscape of valleys and steep hillsides. This rugged terrain is not merely scenic.
Drainage:
The slope helps rainwater run off.
Sun exposure:
The slope of the hillsides allows for maximum exposure to the sun’s rays, which are essential for the ripening of the grapes.
World Heritage Site:
The vineyards, houses, and cellars of Champagne listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2015.

Respect for the land is not an option. For ourMarquis de Joncry Champagne , we view the vineyard as a living ecosystem of which we are the stewards. Our approach to sustainable viticulture seeks to strike a balance between environmental protection and oenological excellence. The work in the vineyard relies on the daily dedication and commitment of our team, season after season.
Rather than tilling the soil intensively, we prefer to use controlled grass cover between the rows of vines.
Combating erosion:
The grass roots help maintain the structure of the clay-limestone soil.
Biodiversity:
A living soil allows the vine roots to better absorb the nutrients necessary for the complexity of champagne.
Natural regulation:
The grass creates healthy competition for water, forcing the vines to send their roots deeper into the chalk, which enhances the concentration of aromas in the grapes.
Preserving the flora and fauna of our vineyard requires sustainable management practices tailored to the needs of the vines.
Reduced herbicide use:
We prioritize mechanical cultivation under the vines to respect the plant’s natural cycle.
Prevention:
By thinning out the clusters and carefully managing the foliage, we naturally limit the occurrence of diseases, thereby reducing the need for treatments.
