Producer Champagne Salima et Alain Cordeuil

FRANCE, CHAMPAGNE

The story of Salima and Alain Cordeuil is a fascinating testimony of passion for viticulture and commitment to sustainable practices. Located in the renowned Côte des Bar, these vignerons have transformed their love for the land into an environmentally friendly production reality. Since 2012, Salima and Alain have adopted an organic farming method, which achieved certification in 2015. This approach is evident in the meticulous care of their 4 hectares of vineyards, where every intervention is aimed at keeping the soil alive and rich of nutrients. The use of vegetable compost from a nearby organic farm, together with the manual labor carried out with the help of their horse, is a sign of their dedication to the ecosystem. Since 2011, they have started producing Champagne, focusing on authenticity and quality. With a limited production of around 10,000 bottles per year, each wine brings with it the uniqueness of their grapes, without the addition of other wines or materials. Their practices in the cellar reflect the same philosophy: all labels are vintage and not dosed, with spontaneous fermentations carried out using indigenous yeasts and without chemical additives. Sulphites are used sparingly, only when strictly necessary. The result is a range of Champagnes that clearly expresses the terroir of the Côte des Bar and the passionate vision of its producers. Salima and Alain's bottles are the fruit of genuine and dedicated work, and true wine lovers can already taste the growing reputation of these young and talented vignerons in the wine scene.
