Guillaumée Christiane

Christiane Guillaumée's maison is a small winery located in the southeast of the Champagne region, in the heart of the Côte des Bar, a lesser-known area of the renowned French bubbles, which has rediscovered itself in recent years thanks to high-quality production. This is due not only to the particular conformation of the soils, but also to the perseverance and passion of small wineries, just like the small family Domaine Guillaumée. For more than 30 years, Champagne Guillaumée has represented elegance, refinement and excellence, recalling the femininity of those who produce it. Indeed, Chiristiane Guillaumée is one of the few female winemakers in the region and makes the management of her vineyard a personal pride: "It is an immense amount of work, but the result of a genuine passion."

Christiane's vineyards are located on clay-limestone soils, face south and southwest, come from sustainable viticulture, and enjoy a continental climate with little rainfall-about 650mm per year. These elements favor optimal vine growth, benefiting ripe and richly fragrant grapes that result in particularly fresh and fine expressions. The varieties used for sparkling wines are the classic ones of the area: Pinot Noir in the greatest quantity, followed by Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier. The particular conformation of the Guillaumée terroir is undoubtedly a first element of originality in production compared to the rest of the Champagne appellation, characterized instead by chalky soils. After the grapes are harvested by hand, alcoholic and malolactic fermentations take place in thermoregulated stainless steel vats, synonymous with champenoise innovation. Finally, in the cellar to achieve balanced and harmonious results, the best cuvées, also from reserve wines, are blended.

Guillaumée Champagnes are born from the deep passion that drove Christiane to abandon her profession as an accountant and return to her family's farming roots. That passion is reflected in balanced, luminous and floral-scented Champagnes, emblematic of the marriage of the region's strong winemaking tradition and the producer's feminine signature. Perfect for any occasion, from aperitifs to dry pastries, they exert their charm like a femme fatale.
