Champagne Boutillez-Vignon, the singular expression of Chardonnay in Villers-Marmery
Champagne Boutillez-Vignon
A family champagne house in Villers-Marmery, a Premier Cru of the Montagne de Reims planted with 99% Chardonnay. The Boutillez family has grown the vine there since the 16th century. Luminous, chiselled, saline Premier Cru champagnes, certified HVE.
In the heart of the Montagne de Reims, there is a village apart. In Villers-Marmery, where Pinot Noir usually dominates, Chardonnay reigns almost alone. It is here that the Boutillez-Vignon family has grown the vine for centuries, and where history, precision and creativity meet to give birth to luminous, tense and deeply elegant Premier Cru Champagnes. Since 2010, the new generation has continued the family adventure with the same demands: to preserve the heritage while asserting its own signature.
A family house rooted since the 16th century
The first traces of the Boutillez family in Villers-Marmery go back to the 16th century: here, the vine is not a trade, it is a culture handed down. In 1964, Gerard Boutillez officially founded the estate; with Colette, herself from a family of winegrowers, they created their own brand in 1974, with a clear vision: to produce a champagne faithful to its terroir, precise, structured, never standardised. In 2010, their children took over the house, a close-knit and complementary trio. At Boutillez-Vignon, women have always held a central place: Germaine, Nelly, Colette, strong personalities who shaped the identity of the house.
Villers-Marmery: an exceptional terroir, 99% Chardonnay
Villers-Marmery is a Premier Cru located at the eastern end of the Montagne de Reims. Its singularity? 99% Chardonnay, where Pinot Noir usually dominates. On clay-loam soils where the chalk surfaces, Chardonnay develops a natural tension, a chalky minerality and a remarkable freshness, for luminous, chiselled champagnes, with notes of citrus and white flowers, and a saline, elegant finish.

The art of blending: precision and freedom
In Champagne, blending is an art; at Boutillez-Vignon, it is akin to a musical composition. Perpetual reserve, reserve wines, massale selections: each element links the past to the present. Each cuvee rests on a sought-after balance between the freshness of Chardonnay, the structure of Pinot Noir, the depth of the reserve wines and the precision of the dosage. Nothing is left to chance, but everything leaves room for interpretation. The house works in respect of the terroir and natural balances, and lets time reveal the identity of the Villers-Marmery Premier Cru.
