This time we are halfway between Reims and Epernay, in the beating heart of the Champagne region. This is where Maison Fabrice Moreau is located. We are in Marfaux, in the Ardre Valley. The small maison is spread over 23 plots almost all of which are located in the village of Marfaux. The basic grape variety here is Pinot Meunier, prized for its rich, fruity taste that is the basis of all their cuvées. With it also a part of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. A family-run business, Maison Fabrice Moreau, since 2018 Adrien Moreau has been at the helm. In the 3.5 hectares he owns, he is committed to environmentally friendly viticultural practices. In the cellar, however, vinification is traditional but careful. The maison is Certified High Environmental Value and Sustainable Viticulture in Champagne and follows the 'living soil' approach to minimise the winery's carbon footprint.
