Domaine
de Bichery

There's a real energy in this part of Champagne, we're far from the monoculture of the Marne up north. The small winemaking village of Neuville-sur-Seine is just a few miles from source of the Seine river (which is just a couple of meters wide as it winds its way through the Aube). It's wild and wooded — hunting woods and wheat farms mix with vines — and the Bichery wines reflect this biodiversity.

Raphael and Hannah are an entrenched fixture among a group of local friends (including Charles Dufour, Alain and Salima Cordeuil, Amaury Beaufort and our own Paul Clergeot) that are this region's emerging stars.
