About Michel Rocourt
Michel Rocourt is a récoltant-manipulant (grower-producer) Champagne house based at 1 rue des Zalieux in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, in the Côte des Blancs. Michel Rocourt, formerly head winemaker at Henriot, bought his first vineyard parcel in 1965 and began making his own Champagne in 1975.
