This is a father-son domaine producing Champagnes of the utmost integrity, and they are full-tilt YUMMY at the same time they are taken absolutely seriously by their makers. I cannot offer you a wine better than the best of these; no one can. Most of the practices here will be familiar to you; fruit-thinning in July, only manual harvesting, environmentally gentle handling of the vineyards. Once the grapes are harvested, Geoffroys press in a traditional Coquard press, slow and gentle, but rarely seen any more because of its low productivity and the physically taxing work it entails. Red-grape dominated cuvées from a locally warm microclimate create thrilling, vibrant, fruity Champagnes. Jean-Baptiste Geoffroy is the most fanatical wine-freak I know in Champagne and his wines reflect his enthusiasm.
The Geoffroy family has been growing grapes in the village of Cumieres since the 1600s where the majority (11 hectares) of their 14 hectares are planted. The remainder is planted to pinot munier in the village of Fleury-la-Riviere and a few small lots in the village of Damery. All of the individual parcels are vinified separately; all are fermented in enameled stainless steel, and some lots go into oak foudre.
•Vineyard area: 14 hectares
•Annual production: 10,000 cases
•Soil types: Limestone, clay-limestone, clay-flint
•Grape varieties: 42% Pinot Noir, 39% Pinot Meunier, 19% Chardonnay
