Champagne Albéric Duvat - a family story between tradition and modernisation
Champagne Alberic Duvat
A family Champagne house since 1851, five generations. A 10-hectare vineyard between Marne, Aisne and Aube. Three grapes: Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier, Pinot Noir. From Brut Carte Noir to an old-vine Blanc de Blancs.
Since 1851, the Duvat family has carried on a winemaking know-how passed down from generation to generation. It all began with an Alsatian ancestor, passionate about the vine, who settled in Champagne in 1870 and laid the foundations of the family estate. It was in 1950 that the estate took a new turn with Elisabeth and Alberic Duvat, who modernised the facilities while remaining faithful to the artisanal spirit of their predecessors.
From 1951, Alberic Duvat equipped the estate with a 2000 kg Vaslin press, then at the cutting edge of innovation, then in 1958 created his own Champagne Duvat brand, distinct from the original one, Alexandre Nau. In 1991, their son Xavier Duvat took over the reins and continued the modernisation of the estate by installing a contemporary vat room and a 4000 kg Willmes membrane press.

A family estate rooted and turned towards the future
In 2010, the succession took shape with the arrival of Leonard Duvat, representing the fifth generation, trained in the vine and wine trades. Today, the estate stretches over 10 hectares spread between the Marne, the Aisne and the Aube, three flagship departments of winegrowing Champagne.
The vineyard grows the three Champagne grapes: Chardonnay (50%), Pinot Meunier (30%) and Pinot Noir (20%), carefully worked to reflect the diversity of the terroirs and the identity of each cuvee. Between respect for traditions, technical innovation and family passion, the house crafts authentic champagnes, the fruit of a balance between demand, modernity and heritage.
