Settled in Bouzy, in the Côtes des Noirs, Champagne Maurice Vesselle was founded in
1955 by Maurice Vesselle. His sons Didier and Thierry are now taking care of the 7.5
hectares of old vines vineyard, entirely in Grand Cru. The area is known for growing
Pinot Noir (classified in 1895). Highly expressive Champagnes, revealing terroirs. What
makes Didier’s wines so special is the ageing time : over 30 vintages are sleeping in the labyrinth underneath the winery!
