All in Grand Cru, Extra Brut, Vintage, and with as little intervention as possible: this is his philosophy, champagne is a wine above all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most of our wines are made in barrels, their wood comes from the family forest, a unique fact in Champagne, with natural yeasts, without fining or filtration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the head of the estate since 2001, St\u00e9phane Vignon is first and foremost a committed man. Love of the land and preservation of the environment are at the heart of his concerns. The Vignon family practices sustainable viticulture: the vineyard is in conversion to obtain HVE (High Environmental Value).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Champagne making is a complex art. Our know-how has been passed on from generation to generation. We offer you wines in the purest Champagne tradition for your greatest pleasure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">St\u00e9phane Vignon is a member of Disciples d&#8217;Escoffier International, Acad\u00e9mie Nationale de Cuisine, les Toques Fran\u00e7aises, and partner of Euro-Toques \u00d6sterreich, whose fundamental values are sharing and transmission.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column has-background is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"background-color:#f7f7f7\">\n<div class=\"video\" style=\"padding:56.25% 0 0 0;position:relative;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/1215791752?badge=0&amp;autopause=0&amp;player_id=0&amp;app_id=58479&amp;autoplay=1&amp;controls=0&amp;muted=1&amp;loop=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;\" title=\"d\u00e9gu\"><\/iframe><\/div><script src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/api\/player.js\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-4 is-cropped associationIcons wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"114\" height=\"114\" data-id=\"72\" src=\"https:\/\/www.champagne-vignon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/academie-de-cuisine.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-72\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"114\" height=\"114\" data-id=\"73\" src=\"https:\/\/www.champagne-vignon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/eurotoques.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-73\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"114\" height=\"114\" data-id=\"74\" src=\"https:\/\/www.champagne-vignon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/logo-diapo-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-74\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"114\" height=\"114\" data-id=\"71\" src=\"https:\/\/www.champagne-vignon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/toques-francaises.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-71\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">From Forest to Barrel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"754\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.champagne-vignon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/473087552_1307687364269767_5751439780464432542_n-754x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6300\" style=\"width:323px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.champagne-vignon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/473087552_1307687364269767_5751439780464432542_n-754x1024.jpg 754w, https:\/\/www.champagne-vignon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/473087552_1307687364269767_5751439780464432542_n-221x300.jpg 221w, https:\/\/www.champagne-vignon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/473087552_1307687364269767_5751439780464432542_n-768x1044.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.champagne-vignon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/473087552_1307687364269767_5751439780464432542_n-368x500.jpg 368w, https:\/\/www.champagne-vignon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/473087552_1307687364269767_5751439780464432542_n.jpg 942w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 754px) 100vw, 754px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At Vignon P\u00e8re &amp; Fils, every decision is guided by a single conviction: to express the true identity of our terroirs with honesty and precision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This philosophy has led us one step further by incorporating oak from our own estate into the crafting of selected barrels. The trees, carefully chosen from our family forest, are sustainably harvested and transformed by the Champagne cooperage after several years of natural seasoning. This meticulous process gives rise to unique barrels, deeply connected to the very terroir from which they originate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For St\u00e9phane Vignon, oak is an integral part of the vineyard&#8217;s ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Having grown on the same soil, it shares a common history with our vines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Using this wood to age our wines extends the dialogue between the vineyard and its natural environment, in an approach where every detail contributes to expressing the character of the terroir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each parcel is vinified separately and aged on its lees, without fining or filtration, following a precise and respectful \u00e9levage. The barrel is never intended to impart overt oak flavours; rather, it gently accompanies the wine&#8217;s evolution, bringing depth, texture, and allowing the full complexity of its origin to emerge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This approach, unique in Champagne, is the result of many years of reflection, experimentation, and close collaboration with passionate coopers. It reflects our commitment to mastering every stage of the winemaking process\u2014from the vineyard parcel to the barrel\u2014in order to craft Champagnes that are authentic, precise, and deeply rooted in their place of origin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More than simply a vessel, each barrel tells a story: the story of a tree, a soil, a craft, and a terroir that finds expression even in the wood accompanying the birth of our wines.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"video\" style=\"padding:35.25% 0 0 0;position:relative;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/1215791751?badge=0&amp;autopause=0&amp;player_id=0&amp;app_id=58479&amp;autoplay=1&amp;muted=1&amp;controls=0&amp;loop=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;\" title=\"Video fin Ton x Vignon\"><\/iframe><\/div><script src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/api\/player.js\"><\/script>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Authentic champagnes from \u201cGrands Crus\u201d plots in Verzenay St\u00e9phane Vignon offers you champagnes from micro-plots.
