Champagne Gilles Planson

Domaine Planson: Authentic Champagne Rooted in Terroir

The Story of a Passionate Couple in the Heart of the Marne Valley.  Located in Festigny, in the heart of the Marne Valley, Domaine Planson is a true love story between a man, a woman, and their Champagne terroir. In 1984, at just 23 years old, Gilles Planson decided to bring his dream to life — to create his own Champagne. He bought a ruined farm in Neuville, his family’s land, and patiently transformed it into a soulful, character-filled wine estate.

Together with his wife Nathalie, he now cultivates 3 hectares of vines under sustainable viticulture, embracing environmentally conscious farming practices. The couple has breathed new life into this corner of Champagne, infusing it with passion, craftsmanship, and authenticity.

An Exceptional Terroir and Three Iconic Grapes

The vineyard of Domaine Planson grows the three emblematic Champagne grape varieties: Meunier, Pinot Noir, and Chardonnay. Meunier — the signature grape of the Marne Valley — takes center stage here. Its generous fruit, roundness, and freshness bring harmony and indulgence to the estate’s blends.

Each parcel is cultivated with precision, in tune with the natural rhythms of the vine. Manual harvesting, careful vinification, and patient aging yield Champagnes of rare authenticity and expressive depth.
