About Champagne Hélène Charbaut

Hélène Charbaut is the fourth generation of a family farming in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ since 1937. The cave where she makes her wines was built in the 1800s — a historic chalk cellar that served as a classroom for village children during the German occupation in the Second World War. It has been in the Charbaut family since 1937.

After studying viticulture and gaining experience at other Champagne houses including time in Burgundy, Hélène returned home and built her own vision for what the domaine could be. Her approach is built around a single principle: one grape variety, one expression of terroir, one cuvée. Five wines — La Charbauterie, La Crayère Blanc de Blancs, Les Pinailleuses Blanc de Noirs, La Meunière Blanc de Meunier, and La Pirouette Blanc de Noirs — each a precise and specific expression of the Premier Cru vineyards she farms in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ and Bisseuil. No blending across varieties. No house style. Each wine says exactly what it is.

The farming is regenerative — cover crops between vine rows, sheep grazing in the vineyards, a move toward biodynamic practices that reflects the same philosophy as the winemaking: minimal intervention, maximum expression of place. From the vineyard to the cellar, everything is done with respect.
