Aurélien Suenen runs a respected small-scale Champagne house based in the heart of the Côte des Blancs, focusing on crafting wines that are authentic expressions of the region's diverse chalky terroir. As a third-generation grower, Aurélien took over the family estate and shifted their philosophy towards meticulous organic and biodynamic farming practices across their small parcels of Chardonnay vines. He is known for a low-intervention winemaking approach, utilizing various aging vessels like neutral oak barrels and concrete eggs to achieve complexity, tension, and extraordinary finesse in his limited production Blanc de Blancs Champagnes. These sought-after wines, particularly the single-vineyard expressions and the "C+C" blend from Cramant and Chouilly, are celebrated by critics and sommeliers worldwide for their precision and purity. His dedication has established the winery as one of the most exciting and dynamic producers in the region.
