Very quickly recognized for its exceptional vintages, it was able to seduce the European royal and imperial courts, becoming the official supplier to the Russian court. Today integrated into the Vranken-Pommery Monopole group, it continues to produce emblematic vintages, like the Diamant Bleu , which embodies luxury and refinement.

The 1989 vintage in Champagne

1989 is considered exceptional in Champagne. The climatic conditions were particularly favorable, with a hot and sunny summer that allowed optimal ripeness of the grapes. The harvest, early that year, offered berries rich in sugar and flavors, while retaining a beautiful acidity. This vintage is recognized for its generous, well-structured champagnes with great aromatic complexity, ideal for prolonged aging.
