The Terroir of Champagne Piot Sévillano
The Vallée de la Marne is one of the most emblematic terroirs of the AOC Champagne. Surrounded by the river that gives it its name, this region is distinguished by its rolling hills and temperate climate. Located between Épernay and Château-Thierry, it is the birthplace of Pinot Meunier. Here, the clay-limestone soil of Vincelles brings beautiful minerality and a generous texture to the champagnes of Piot Sévillano. The diversity of exposures allows for optimal grape ripening, giving the wines a rich and complex aromatic palette.
The Origins of Champagne Piot Sévillano
The history of Champagne Piot Sévillano is, above all, that of a family of independent winemakers spanning 10 generations. In 2007, Christine and her team chose to redefine the estate, bringing a fresh and forward-thinking approach. Their ambition was clear: to modernize the estate while preserving its winemaking heritage and adopting a more environmentally friendly viticulture. Their commitment was soon recognized: they obtained High Environmental Value (HVE) certification in 2015, followed by a full conversion to organic farming completed in 2023.
The Style of Champagne Piot Sévillano
Here, the terroir expresses itself fully through meticulous plot-by-plot vinification, where each grape variety is vinified separately to preserve its unique identity. Unlike traditional blends, where Pinot Meunier is often used as a secondary grape, Piot Sévillano places it at the forefront, showcasing its aromatic potential and silky texture. Moving away from conventional methods, the house relies on innovative vinification techniques, using stoneware jars, concrete eggs, enamel tanks, and oak casks. This diverse range of aging vessels brings roundness, depth, and complexity to the champagnes while preserving the purity of the fruit. The result: 16 rare and distinctive champagnes, along with 3 Coteaux Champenois and 1 Ratafia, all crafted with artisanal precision.
Champagne Piot Sévillano is the perfect alliance between tradition and innovation, where each cuvée is a true signature of excellence.
