Marx-Coutelas et Fils - Venteuil
Bryan Marx is an exception in the municipality of Venteuil, on the southern slope of the Montagne de Reims, a few minutes west of Épernay.
Even though there are some pioneering Champagne domaines nearby grown respectfully in Venteuil itself, organic and biodynamic methods are still seen as heretical!
Bryan, a former Parisian graphic designer who never went to winemaking school, took over from his father in 2018 and transformed the family holdings into a certified organic domaine despite protests from his hometown neighbors. The estate, which can boast one of the oldest vineyards in Champagne, can count on vineyards facing south-east and cultivated on limestone subsoils, which give grapes with extraordinary character
Marx-Coutelas wines are low-dose champagnes, clean and composed mainly of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, which we can drink all year round.
