The History of Maison Penet: Four Centuries of Excellence

Viticulture has been part of the family history since the 17th century, but it was in the 1930s that Désiré and Gilbert Penet produced their first cuvées. In the 1940s, Emile Penet modernized the estate by acquiring a 19th-century Maison de Maître in Verzy, featuring majestic vaulted cellars, and introduced the first mechanized equipment.

In 1967, the marriage of Christian Penet and Marie-Louise Chardonnet, from a winemaking family in Verzenay, allowed the vineyards to merge and created the Penet-Chardonnet brand, with 6 hectares in Grand Cru. Today, Alexandre Penet, 4th generation, and his wife Martine continue the family adventure, combining precision, modernity, and respect for the terroir.

Our Vineyard: Exceptional Terroir in Montagne de Reims

The estate spans 6 hectares in the Grand Cru villages of Verzy and Verzenay, predominantly Pinot Noir and Chardonnay . Each plot, or lieu-dit, has a unique identity due to its exposure and soil composition, revealing the singularity of the Montagne de Reims terroir.

Maison Penet practices sustainable and responsible viticulture, without chemical fertilizers, herbicides, or insecticides. The soils are worked to respect biodiversity and the vine's natural cycle. The Champagnes are made with low sugar dosage, long aging, and in some cases, partial oak barrel aging to provide structure and roundness.
