Champagne Marc et Fils

Maison Marc

A family champagne house in Fleury-la-Riviere, in the Vallee de la Marne, carried by a heritage going back to 1626. On a luminous clay-limestone terroir, the three Champagne varieties sign exceptional cuvees. Reasoned viticulture, small yields.

The Maison Marc carries a rare heritage, driven by passion and passed on for nearly four centuries. The story begins in 1626, when Monseigneur Francois de Baradat, first gentleman of King Louis XIII, owner of an estate in Fleury-la-Riviere, sees his destiny turned upside down. Exiled by Richelieu after a duel and court intrigues, he finally returns to his Champagne lands and bequeaths them to his descendants. From this lineage the Champagne Arthur Marc would be born: a symbol of nobility, strength and transmission.

An artisanal vision for authentic champagnes

The soul of the Maison Marc lies in its unique alliance between historic prestige and artisanal know-how. The cuvees are crafted according to a philosophy of absolute exactingness: rigorous selection of the juices, precise vinifications, long ageing. Each bottle reveals a different facet of this noble terroir, where the passion of the generations meets an assumed modernity.
