ABOUT THIS PRODUCER
Champagne Vadin-Plateau is true grower champagne. It is a family enterprise located in the heart of the Marne Valley, in the premier cru village of Cumires (near pernay). Joseph Plateau founded Champagne Vadin-Plateau (first called Maison Plateau) in 1785, making Vadin-Plateau one of the oldest champagne producers. A passion for wine and its cultivation has been transmitted from generation to generation; today, over two centuries later, it continues with Yann Vadin.Yann Vadin is the 9th generation to grow grapes on his familys seven hectares of vineyards. centered around the terroirs of five neighboring villages: Ay, Damery, Champillon, Hautvillers, and the familys hometown Cumires, where the winery is located. Yann always envisioned taking over the family domaine. After training in the lyce viticole in Avize, and obtaining work experience in Bordeaux, Burgundy, and Australia, he returned to the domaine in 2012.
Immediately, he began the conversion to organic viticulture, encouraged by a father who had stopped using herbicides twenty years prior, and who also had the good sense to allow his son free reign in the winemaking process from his first harvest. Yann crafts wines that are both typical of Champagne and highly personal. His first cuve, aptly named Renaissance, was a 100% Pinot Meunier, the emblematic grape of Cumires. The following year, Yann asked his father, grandfather, and himself to each select their favorite terroir at the domaine. Fortunately, they chose three different parcels, and from these favorite spots they selected three different grape varieties, each planted with a different grape variety.
