Domaine Beaugrand, Hélène Beaugrand

The Montgueux hill, where the domain is located, is located 10km away from Troyes in the southern region of Champagne. Our vineyard is renowned for the typicity of its Chardonnay grapes. Facing South East, the vines are planted on upper cretaceous chalk and clay. They maintain a grass-cover between the vines. The age of these vineyards and their wine-making processes enable them to produce generous, complex and highly subtle wines. After the First World War, the Beaugrand family was the first to replant its hillsides. Montgueux acquired the Champagne appellation in 1927 and the first bottles were put on sale in 1930. Hélène Beaugrand is the granddaughter of a winemaker, grew up in Troyes and studied in Burgundy. She spent several years making wine in South Africa, Australia, Mexico, New Zealand and the United States. In 2008, she finally decided to concentrate on the the family estate in Montgueux and makes beautiful Chardonnays champaigns.
