Producer Information

The Montgueux hill is located 10km away from Troyes in the southern region of Champagne. The vineyards are renowned for the typicity of the Chardonnay grapes. Facing South East the vines are planted on Upper Cretaceous chalk and clay. Hlne maintains a grass-cover between the vines. The age of these vineyards and the wine-making processes enables the production of generous, complex and highly subtle wines.Vines were first cultivated in the 12th century and almost disappeared at the end of the 1800s thanks to phylloxera. After the First World War the Beaugrand family was the first to replant its hillsides. Montgueux acquired the Champagne appellation in 1927 and the first bottles were put on sale in 1930. The main street in Montgueux is named Leon Beaugrand as mark of respect for the Beaugrand family who pushed for AOC status in 1927.Hlne and Arnaud Beaugrand are the grand children of an early winemaker. Hlne grew up in Troyes, and was educated in Burgundy also spending several years making wine in South Africa, Australia, Mexico, New Zealand and the United States. In 2008 she returned to the family estate to take over the wine making.
