Rene Geoffroy Champagne Brut 1er Cru Expression Trentino-Alto Adige and othersRene Geoffroy is a historic grower from the Valle de la Marne, with winemaking roots in Cumires dating back to the 17th century. Today, Jean Baptiste Geoffroy and his father farm 14 hectares, mostly in Cumires, with additional parcels in Damery, Hautvillers, Dizy, and Fleury la Rivire. The vines average 20 years of age, with the oldest dating back to 1926, and the family farms sustainably through cover crops, soil tilling, and natural pest control.
