The estate comprises around 10 hectares across over 100 small plots, practicing biodynamic viticulture since 2019. They favor minimal intervention, native yeasts, reduced sulfur, and long aging under cork. These methods yield distinctive still wines (Coteaux Champenois) that emphasize purity, terroir expression, and gentle extraction techniques.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eProducer and Wine Maker\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eEric and Isabelle Coulon oversee both vineyard and cellar, with Edgar now supporting winemaking.
