List of products by brand Vauversin

The Vauversin family cultivates vineyards in the Oger area, in the heart of the Côte des Blancs, This is a historical entity in the area, present in the Champagne lands since the mid-1700s and continuing to contribute to the success of the region after a good 15 generations. For many centuries, the Vauversin estate limited itself to growing the vines, then selling the grapes to other local producers. It was not until the early decades of the 1900s that Fernand Vauversin, aware of the value of his grapes, which were always in high demand on the market, began making his own wine and marketing Champagne. Today the estate is managed by Laurent, who, after finishing his studies in viticulture and oenology and gaining experience in Australia, has taken over the reins of the family property with great passion and expertise.

The estate covers only three hectares, divided into numerous parcels, almost all of which are located in the Grand Cru territory of Oger or in Avize and Le-Mesnil-sur-Oger, legendary territories of the Côte des Blancs. The soils are composed of limestone and chalk, which are particularly suited to Chardonnay, which is, not surprisingly, the Maison's main grape variety.  The domaine has a valuable genetic heritage of the vine, which it has been cultivating for many generations. The best plants were chosen to then make scions for planting in the field until 1988 in the Rossignol plot, and to this day the Maison carries on the work of mass selection in collaboration with a local nurseryman. Agronomic management is very attentive to the natural environment, and since 2011 the entire property has been certified organic.

The Champagne area is at a limiting latitude for vine cultivation and enjoys a continental climate regime with oceanic influences. Climate changes in recent decades have also been felt in northern France, with a steady rise in temperatures leading to increasingly early harvests. The grapes are harvested plot by plot and then vinified separately so that each vineyard can express its own distinctive personality. Only when the final cuvées are created do they choose which base wines to use to make the various labels.
