Our vineyards

Our family vineyard contains excellent Premier and Grand Cru terroirs between Vertus and Ambonnay. With an average age of 35 years, our Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs perfectly reveal the chalky soils of the Côte des Blancs. Cultivated organically and biodynamically, our vines produce grapes harvested at the peak of their maturity in order to extract the quintessence of the fruit. Particular attention is paid to each plot and each vine, all seasons of the year.

Our expertise

We work the vines with total respect for vegetative cycles and living organisms. From gentle pruning to night-time harvesting, to avoid the heat of the juices, our approach is to take the greatest care at each step necessary for the creation of a quality vintage. Our heritage and Champagne tradition give our bottles authenticity and unique character. We want to convey a tasting experience that arouses emotion and lasting memories.

Our story

In the heart of the Côte des Blancs, where the vines stretch like living poems, since 1872, from father to son and from mother to daughter, the Pernet & Pernet family has passed down their knowledge of the vine. André, Michel, Jeanine then Nadine, all listened to his secrets whispered in the breath of the wind. Know-how and know-how passed down from generation to generation to extract the quintessence of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Established between Vertus and Ambonnay, our vineyard acquired over the decades conceals excellent Terroirs and Lieux-Dits. Today, with this heritage, Marion, Kurt, Romain and Léo form the new generation of winegrowers who create wines in the image of their family; passionate, friendly and timeless.

Naissance du vignoble Pernet

André Pernet au sortir de la première guerre mondiale consolide et replante le vignoble en partie détruit. Il sera décoré de la médaille du Mérite Agricole et du Mérite Social. 1946 – Michel Pernet au sortir de la seconde guerre mondiale réuni le vignoble d’Ambonnay de Jeanine Pernet avec le siens à Vertus puis rachète des parcelles afin d’en faire l’exploitation que l’on connaît aujourd’hui d’environ 9 hectares. Bien connu dans la région, il participe à la création de plusieurs coopératives et préside la Confrérie de Saint-Vincent pendant un temps.

Nadine Pernet reprend les rênes de la maison, succédant à son père Michel Pernet.

Sa fille Marion et son conjoint Kurt insufflent un nouveau élan en reprenant la tête de la Maison suite au décès de Nadine Pernet. Romain, le frère de Marion, est aux petits soins du vignoble. La vinification maison, le passage à la viticulture biologique ainsi que l’ouverture d’un restaurant sont les démarches choisies pour améliorer la qualité des champagnes et de l’offre que nous proposons.

Des investissements d’ampleur sont effectués pour un nouveau chai, un nouveau pressoir et de meilleures infrastructures. Le passage à la viticulture biodynamique est amorcé tandis que le frère de Marion, Léo Allais-Pernet, devient associé-exploitant.

Our vision

Today, through the triptych “Respect for the land, people and life”, we advocate excellence in order to perfect moments of sharing and celebration. Like modern alchemists, we transform each harvest into a symphony of flavors awakening the palate to unsuspected nuances. The family table, a gastronomic jewel, serves as a laboratory where subtle alliances between vintages and dishes unfold. From the work in the vineyard, to the culinary pairing, we elevate what each terroir gives us until we obtain an exceptional champagne.
