Domaine La Borderie
Domaine La Borderie – also known on Instagram and their website as Champagne Domaine La Borderie – is a family domaine from the Côte des Bar. Run by the Famille Frazier, the house works according to the principles of Agroécologie and viticulture respectueuse du vivant.
Vignoble & Soils
The vines are located in Neuville-sur-Seine, among other places, where the single vineyard De Quoi Te Mêles-Tu? has been planted since 1980. The focus is on Pinot Noir, complemented by Chardonnay and Pinot Blanc.
Viticulture & Sustainability
The domaine works according to the principles of Agroécologie and viticulture respectueuse du vivant – a farming approach that focuses on the living balance in the vineyard.
Vinification
Part of the wines age in oak barrels: 10 percent for the cuvée Trois Contrées, and partial barrel aging for De Quoi Te Mêles-Tu. The dosage ranges between 0 and 3 g/l – from Extra Brut to Brut Nature.
