Few villages in Champagne are as iconic as Le Mesnil-sur-Oger - and Pertois-Moriset has called it home since 1951, when Yves Pertois and Janine Moriset, heirs to two established winemaking families of the Côte des Blancs, married and united their vineyards.
Now in its third generation, the domaine is run by their granddaughter Cécile and her husband Vincent, who have poured significant energy into the estate - building a state-of-the-art winery and barrel cellar, doubling the vineyard workforce, and adopting sustainable, biodiversity-focused viticulture.
Their 35 hectares span four distinct terroirs: 15 ha of Grand Cru Chardonnay across Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Oger, Cramant and Chouilly in the Côte des Blancs; 13.5 ha in the Coteaux Sézannais planted to 75% Chardonnay and 25% Pinot Noir; 5 ha in the Aube; and 1.5 ha of Chardonnay in Bisseuil on the southern Montagne de Reims.
