Champagne Allouchery-Deguerne

Champagne Allouchery-Deguerne is a Récoltant-Manipulant from Chamery, a Premier Cru village in the Montagne de Reims. Led by Nicolas Allouchery, the family has been cultivating their vineyards across multiple generations in the Premier Cru villages of Chamery and Écueil, both nestled within the UNESCO World Heritage site of Champagne. A house that doesn't make noise about this heritage, but delivers quiet precision.

Vignoble & Terroir

The vines are planted in the Premier Cru sites of Chamery and Écueil, in the heart of the Montagne de Reims. This is Pinot Noir country, yet on these same chalky-clay slopes grows a surprisingly precise Chardonnay. The fact that these sites belong to the UNESCO World Heritage is more than just a label: it speaks to a cultural landscape that has lived from champagne for centuries.

Viticulture & Sustainability

Allouchery-Deguerne is HVE-certified (Haute Valeur Environnementale), the highest French environmental standard in viticulture. Behind this lies a deep respect for nature and sustainable practices that you can taste in the wines, in their clarity and freshness.

Vinification

Winemaking takes place in stainless steel tanks. The wines are bottled without fining or filtration, but undergo cold stabilization. Depending on the Cuvée, Dosage ranges between three and eight grams, from Extra Brut to Brut. It's a clear, reductive approach that consciously lets the vines and Terroir take center stage.

The Cuvées in Detail

Sélection

The entry-level Cuvée is based 70% on the 2023 vintage, complemented by 30% reserve wines. Disgorged on August 28, 2025, it shows yellow apple, pear and citrus peel, taut, dry, with fine spice and a clean line. Alcohol at 12.5% vol.
60% Pinot Noir, 20% Meunier, 20% Chardonnay · 3 g/l (Extra Brut) · Premier Cru Chamery

Blanc de Blancs

Pure Chardonnay from Chamery, 65% vintage 2023, 35% reserve. Also disgorged on August 28, 2025. Denser and creamier than you might expect, bright fruits, fine spice, quiet depth instead of cool citrus-chalk precision.
100% Chardonnay · 4 g/l (Extra Brut) · Premier Cru Chamery

Blanc de Noirs

Pure Pinot Noir from Écueil and Chamery, aged at least three years on the lees. Ripe red fruits, cherries, wild raspberries, plus fine spice. Powerful, structured, wonderfully fresh with beautiful grip.
100% Pinot Noir · 7.5 g/l (Brut) · 36 months aging · Premier Cru Écueil & Chamery
