Domaine La Borderie

Domaine La Borderie is a young estate, founded in 2013 by the will of Simon and Marie Normand, a brother and sister who chose to take up the legacy of their family's property. Eleven hectares stretch out around Bar sur Seine, in the Côte des Bar, where the Seine meets the Arce. Their ambition is clear: to craft single-parcel cuvées through meticulous research, playing on the ripeness of the grapes while remaining faithful to the most traditional varieties of this terroir — Pinot Blanc, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir — always with a keen attention to preserving biodiversity and the surrounding landscapes.

In the vineyard, the focus falls on restrained yields and a high degree of ripeness, which translates into an intense concentration of aromas. In the cellar, the grapes are pressed as soon as they are harvested to preserve their integrity, and each batch of juice is vinified separately according to its origin: in this way the palette of aromas broadens and takes shape in blends of ever greater character. The result is an authentic Champagne, a faithful expression of a land and of the two siblings who chose it — an invitation to discover the Côte des Bar in all its elegance.
