About Aurélien Lurquin
Aurélien Lurquin is a tiny grower-producer (récoltant-manipulant) based in Romery, in the Vallée de la Marne of Champagne. He launched his own project in 2007 from family parcels and farms a very small vineyard organically and biodynamically, working the vines by hand and with a horse. Pinot Noir leads, alongside Meunier, Chardonnay and a little Petit Meslier. Production is only a couple of thousand bottles a year, including zero-dosage Champagnes and still Coteaux Champenois such as Les Forcières.
Who Is This For?
