CHAMPAGNE LE GALLAIS
Charlotte Le Gallais and her team cultivate 4 hectares of vines in the historic Clos du Château de Boursault, owned by the family since 1927. The 3 Champenois grape varieties are cultivated there and divided into 7 parcels in the four corners of the property. The Domain is now certified High Environmental Value.
The press, the cellars and the winery are also located in the vineyard, a few hundred meters away from the most distant plot, which guarantees a great freshness of the fruit at the time of its pressing and its transformation.
Today we welcome visitors to the Domaine to share our passion, from the vine to the flute. Within this 16th century Clos, unique in Champagne, we have built a confidential glass roof offering a 180° view on the vineyard of the Marne Valley and on the towers of the Château in order to share privileged and intimate moments with our visitors.
