Time, life, and wine

The Salima & Alain Cordeuil estate is located in the Côte des Bar, in Noé-les-Mallets, a village home to the highest slopes in Champagne. It is here, on 4 hectares, that they took over Alain’s family vineyards.

Lovers of the land, respectful of nature and people, they produced their first wines in 2011 and converted their entire production to organic farming in 2012.
The entire vineyard and all wines have been certified organic since 2015. The couple rejects all chemical interventions or processes. All their wines are made naturally.

A philosophy of time

Here is how they describe their work:
"We place great importance on time. We refuse haste.
This mindset applies at every stage. We give the vine time to regenerate after harvest, thus respecting its dormancy. Time for the terroir to express itself, by favoring the natural cycle of life. Time for the grapes to ripen, to become rich in sugar, to be picked at the optimal moment and provide well-balanced musts, naturally, thanks to their own yeasts. Time for our wines to age at length on their lees, so they reflect their terroir and their climate. Time for our cuvées to mature in the cellar, for at least 4 to 5 years, to fully express their character and vintage. And finally, we give ourselves the time to share with you our love for wine and our philosophy..."
