Founded en 1929, the Champagne Dérouillat includes the three grape varieties of champagne on varied terroirs ("Côte des Blancs" and hillsides south of Epernay). This richness and diversity characterize their blends.

Sustainable development and methods of reasoned vine growing
The champagne Dérouillat is harvesting-winemaking and adheres to Champagnes de Vignerons (cultivation and wine making on the exploitation). The oenotouristes will be delighted to discover methods of cultivation combining reasoned viticulture and sustainable development. For example : since 20 years fertilizers are replaced with composted algae; a tank used to collect all wastewater not to reject the wash water in nature. 80% of the vineyard is grassed to promote soil biodiversity and limit erosion. A vineyard worthy of the interest of wine tourism.
