Fumey-Tassin

In the heart of the Côte des Bar, in Celles-sur-Ource, lies Maison Fumey-Tassin, a beautiful, authentic family-run winery. Founded in 1983 by Marie and François Tassin, the winery has its roots in the region's wine-growing history, continuing the work begun by Marcel Tassin, one of the first Récoltant-Manipulants in the Aube region after the winegrowers' revolt of 1911. Today, the winery is run by Marie Tassin and her children, Arthur and Léa Fumey, who combine tradition and innovation to produce high-quality Champagne. The estate's vineyard covers 5 hectares of clay-limestone soils with Kimmeridgian subsoil, cultivated according to the principles of sustainable agriculture, with practices such as grass cover, sexual confusion and the integration of lunar cycles. In the countryside, Pinot Noir accounts for 90% of production. Together with the rare Pinot Blanc Vrai, it makes up the remaining 10%. The latter is mainly grown in Celles-sur-Ource and the neighbouring villages and is a real rarity in Champagne, with less than 100 hectares planted in the entire region. The Maison is certified “Haute Valeur Environnementale” (HVE) and “Viticulture Durable en Champagne”, and is a member of the Vigneron Indépendant association, demonstrating its commitment to responsible, high-quality viticulture.
