In 2006, Catherine and Olivier Langlais took over the family vineyard of 6 ha spread over
5 different terroirs in the Premier Cru of the Montagne de Reims. Their sensitivity to the
natural environment led them to change their vine growing and winemaking techniques
to organic and biodynamic methods in 2010 . Olivier strongly believe in the power of the
soil and since 2013, he became dedicated to do the most he could to revitalize his soil
(tea compost, alfalfa granules).
