Each plot is unique
Each plot holds the treasures of our terroir's geological history. We are so lucky that our family lands, located exclusively in Montigny, boast a great diversity of soils: sands, limestone, clays, and even a vein of flint. With varying exposures, from the top to the bottom of the hillside in a perched village, the plots exhibit both distinctive and varied characteristics.
Every year, we choose the plots we will vinify in order to make an ideal selection for consistent blends that reflect our style. Then we vinify each grape variety from each plot in a specific container (barrel, amphora, demijohn and a few stainless steel tanks).
​
This plot selection allows us to preserve the typicity of each grape from each plot and offers us a rich and precise aromatic palette.

A return to common sense in farming
To obtain the perfect grape, Champagne Konrat champions viticulture that respects the environment and biodiversity. The estate began its conversion to organic farming in 2024 and will be certified organic in 2027.
We have created a perpetually growing ecosystem around our vineyards by introducing orchards on the edge of the vineyards and animals.
For several years Champagne Konrat has practiced sheep viticulture during the winter season, during the vegetative rest period with a flock of Roux ardennais and Shropshire sheep.
Grazing vineyards provide numerous agronomic benefits: natural fertilization, improved soil structure, weed control, enhanced biodiversity, and reduced carbon footprint.
This system participates in a virtuous circle: the sheep nourish the land, the land nourishes the vine, the vine nourishes our grapes.
Every wine is unique
Our philosophy is based on one principle : the wine is a natural and lively product. For instance, every wine has its identitiy, character which need specific care and kindness. So what could be more obvious than listening the wine and help it to evolve naturally with a low interventionism.
To create a gourmet champagne, authentic and distinguished, we age wine in oak barrels and terracota amphoras. We also give to the wines all the time they need to improve themselves in the winemaking cellar and then in the cellar.
Our small production ensures a hand-crafted quality at the top.

Luxury of time
Every wine has its personnality and its physiology. That's why the time they need to leave our cellar and to be tasted is different.
​
We give 24, 36, 48 months even more to the most delicate cuvées as Velours or Millésime, so that they offer you a seldom emotion.
