J. Vignier Description
The Vignier family history in Champagne dates to 1530, the time of Nicolas Vignier of Bars sur Seine. Nicolas was a physician, lawyer, theologian, and court historian for Henry III. His descendant, Nathalie Vignier, is now the tenth generation to pursue viticulture and winemaking in Champagne, and the sixth generation to do so in the grand cru village of Cramant, in the Côte des Blancs.
“Aux Origines” could be tanslated as “where it all began.” This blanc de blancs is made entirely from "Les Simarts", the very first vineyards planted by Nathalie’s granparents, Marie-Louise and Paul, in Barbonne-Fayel, Côteaux Sézannais, in the 1960s. This cuvée is 100% chardonnay, fermented in steel tanks with full malolactic conversion, bottled in April following harvest and aged a full one year longer than required by law.
