CHAMPAGNE VOLLEREAUX
Since 1805, the Vollereaux family has owned 40 hectares of vines spread over 13 communes of the southern slopes of Epernay/Sézannais, including Pierry, classified as a Premier Cru. It is now the turn of the 6th generation to continue the work undertaken for over two centuries. Today, as in the past, the Vollereaux family works as a family: Franck Vollereaux makes the wine, Hélène Vollereaux welcomes the public and is in charge of wine tourism, and Jean-Marie Vollereaux cultivates the vines. With its relaxed, classic style, Vollereaux Champagne is a creator of occasions.
The estate's wine tourism experience is built on different timeframes, from a short break to a half day. Whatever the formula chosen, the visitor will be offered a break that will take him to the heart of the family heritage of the house Vollereaux.
