A Champagne House strength comes from its capacity of procurement and quality control over its raw material. The house Esterlin is based on a terroir of 211 ha, spread over 52 municipalities.

The cooperative winegrowers are motivated and committed to produce only the best for their brand, Champagne Esterlin. Over 70% of the vineyards are certified ‘VDC’ (Sustainable Viticulture in Champagne) and/or ‘HVE’ (Hight Environmental Value), and 5 hectares are currently certified organic or in conversion.
Moreover, the singularity of our structure is that Esterlin exploits and manages 12 hectares of vineyard, of which 8 ha are owned, fully certified in sustainable viticulture.
All those “terroirs” lying on Champagne clay and limestone soils, give the opportunity to get a great range of style and typicity.

Since a few years, Champagne Esterlin is involved in a strict environment protection. Wineries implementing those practices (voluntary base) can from now get a certification “High Value Environmental” (HVE). This is a certification released by the “Grenelle of Environment”.

The label “viticulture durable” (sustainable wine making) is composed of 125 measures including all wine making process and winery management (vineyard, soil and vine nutrition, soil treatment and cleaning, sustainable agriculture, waste management).

Production plant and storage are located at Mancy, near Epernay. It contains a total of 15,000 HL over a surface of 10,000 M2, and 2 millions bottles, protected from the natural lighting.

Natural temperature all over the year is around 11 degrees.

The House has 2 other pressing sites, in the Sezannais and Marne Valley areas

Esterlin House practices fermentation at 16 degrees temperature. We stop second fermentation to preserve original acidity and the freshness of wine.

Our malolactic fermentation free process keep complexity of aromas and endows the wine with a great ageing capacity.

The premium vintage Cleo Blanc de Blancs 2012 is vinified in oak barrels from Burgundy (228L) and in muids (350L). Wood brings softness & higher complexity to the wine to make it a great vintage.
