The adventure of the domaine started in 1882 with Socrate Malot.
Florian and Cindy represent the 5th generation. They actually works with Franck and Christine Malot, Cindy's parents.
The domaine is located on the beautiful Montagne de Reims with 11 hectars planted in Premier Cru (village Villers-Marmery) and Grand Cru (village Verzy).
The singularity of the estate are the grape varieties : 80% of the vineyard is planted on chardonnay due to a limestone soil and 20% of Pinot Noir on marly soils.
The vines are farmed in organic since 2004 and since a few years in biodynamy.
In the winery, the estate keeps an exceptional solera started in 1982 to add complexity into the wines, also uses different contenants for the fermentation and ageing (oak barrel, concrete eggs, stainless steel vat).
The Champagne of the domaine express a lovely freshness, finesse and tension.
