Champagne André Heucq
Champagne André Heucq is a vigneron estate from Cuisles in the Vallée de la Marne. The maison is led by Alexandre Heucq and Fanny Heucq. The winery is located at 9 Rue Eugène Moussé — the same street where the neighboring Famille Moussé is also based.
Vignoble & Soils
André Heucq farms vineyards in and around Cuisles, with more than 90% of the vineyard area concentrated within a 10-kilometer radius. The grape variety distribution is clear: over 80% Pinot Meunier, with the remainder distributed among other varieties.
The soil signature is typical for the Meunier zone of the Marne: green illite clay soils — locally called "argile verte." This clay layer retains moisture and sustainably shapes the character of the wines. Some of the Meunier parcels are over 30 years old.
Viticulture & Sustainability
The maison works according to the "Nature et terroir" approach, as communicated on their Instagram presence. Specific certifications are not yet documented.
Vinification
Vinification takes place in stainless steel tanks, as documented for the Cuvée Héritage Blanc Meunier. The dosage spectrum ranges from Brut Nature (0 g/l) to Extra Brut — a deliberately reduced sugar content that places focus on Meunier and minerality.
The Cuvées in Detail
Héritage Blanc Meunier — Brut Nature
Pure Meunier from 30-year-old vines on green illite clay soils. Aged in stainless steel tanks, completely without dosage. The pure structure reveals the full minerality of the terroir — profound, honest, without compromise.
100% Meunier · 0 g/l Dosage · Green illite clay soils, 30-year-old vines
Héritage Millésime 2014 — Extra Brut
Vintage champagne from 2014, vinified as Extra Brut. Spicy, lightly toasted notes develop particularly well in a large glass. Complex expression with aging potential.
