Champagne Extra Brut
Héritage Blanc de Blancs

It was in 1936 that André Heucq began making his own Champagne meant for the market. Today the family tradition continues with Alexandre and Fanny - the fourth generation - who, assisted by their father André, has adopted an increasingly careful and sustainable approach in the family vineyards and winery.

The winery is located halfway between Reims and Château-Thierry and 6 kilometres north of the River Marne, more specifically in the small village of Cuisles, unique for its unspoilt green clay soil and low rainfall. The conversion path to biodynamic viticulture meets the objective of reactivating microbial life in the soil to enhance the expression of the terroir, and coincides with the construction of a new ecological winery.

Meunier grapes are naturally the focus of attention in this wine-growing area, although Chardonnay and Pinot Noir play a significant role in most Cuvées. Winemaking is intuitive: each plot is fermented and aged separately in steel tanks or in oak barrels previously used for Meursault, while malolactic fermentation is encouraged or blocked selectively.

The Cuvées are aged for a long time with very low final dosages and very few sulphites added, granting to their Champagnes a great expression of purity and finesse.
