About the Winery:
Founded in 1805, Champagne Vollereaux now owns nearly 40 hectares (100 acres) covering 13 villages of Coteaux Sud d’Epernay in the Marne Valley of Champagne. This includes Pierry, a Premier Cru classified village.
Represented by Helene and Franck Vollereaux, the 6th generation continues a two-century-old legacy of family ownership and management. Frank is the winemaker, Helene manages tourism, and their uncle, Jean-Marie Vollereaux, is the vineyard manager.
Concerned to the environmental issues of today and tomorrow, and the well-being of their consumers, the family is committed to thoughtful stewardship of its vineyards, and remaining a family-owned company.
