Since their first winemaking in 2014, Marine and Quentin Vincey have built their estate with rare determination.
Leaving the cooperative, regaining control of every step, and crafting champagnes that bear the signature of their terroirs: the project gradually took shape, without compromise, to become today one of the most singular references of the new generation of Champagne producers.
Domaine Vincey spans seven hectares in the heart of the Côte des Blancs, including five hectares from massal selections in the Grands Crus of Oger, Mesnil-sur-Oger, and Chouilly.
A few kilometers from the vineyards, at Château de Renneville, Marine and Quentin envisioned much more than just a workplace. This property is a natural extension of the vineyard.
Horsetail, comfrey, and other medicinal plants are grown there to prepare infusions and decoctions for the vines. Green manures are developed, while sheep naturally contribute to soil maintenance. Every element of the estate is part of the same quest for balance.
Grapes are harvested exclusively at full maturity, by hand, in small crates to preserve the integrity of the berries. Juices are extracted with a traditional wooden Coquard press before reaching the cellar by gravity.
Fermentations start naturally thanks to indigenous yeasts. Each parcel is vinified separately to preserve the identity of each locality.
The wines then undergo aging on lees in oak barrels sourced exclusively from forests located within a radius of approximately 200 kilometers around the estate. Only 20% of the barrels are renewed each year, so that the wood supports the wine without ever overpowering it.
Secondary fermentation is carried out under natural cork. Both riddling and disgorging are done entirely by hand. The single-parcel cuvées age for a minimum of thirty-six months on lattes before being disgorged, always without dosage.
The 2021 vintage perfectly illustrates this philosophy. A cool year, marked by rain and significant disease pressure, reminiscent of the great Champagne vintages before global warming. Wines built on tension, precision, and depth rather than power, whose balance suggests remarkable aging potential.
