ABOUT THIS PRODUCER

Jean-Paul Hbrart took over the operations of Marc Hbrart Champagne in the Valle de la Marne from his father Marc in 1997.

Hbrart farms 14 hectares of vines on 65 different sites in 6 villages: the 1er cru vineyards of Mareuil-sur-A, Avenay, Val dOr and Bisseuil and the grand crus villages of A as well as Chouilly and Oiry in the Cte des Blancs.
