Champagne Geoffroy is a highly respected family-owned grower house located in the Vallée de la Marne, rooted in winemaking since the 17th century. The estate shifted to estate-bottling in the 1950s under René Geoffroy and is managed today by Jean-Baptiste Geoffroy, who moved operations to Ay in 2008. The fruit for their signature 'Expression' cuvée is sourced exclusively from Premier Cru vineyards in the historic village of Cumières, famed for its sun-drenched, south-facing amphitheater slopes. Here, the vines thrive in a complex terroir of shallow, chalky soils layered over fragmented limestone and clay, which imparts a distinct structural power and mineral precision to the grapes. By practicing sustainable viticulture and maintaining old vines across these specific parcels, the family ensures that the wine vividly expresses the unique character of Cumières.

A blend of approximately 40% Pinot Noir, 35% Pinot Meunier, and 25% Chardonnay. 50% 2021 Base Vintage, 50% Perpetual Reserve.
