Vincent Charlot is at the origin of the Aline Collection. Based in Mardeuil near Epernay, he cultivates just over 4 hectares of certified biodynamic vines. His work to bring the family vineyards back to life is impressive. At his place, everything grows, everything lives, botanists and entomologists are surprised to find rare and often forgotten plants and insects. It is in this exceptional ecosystem that Vincent elaborates many rich and vinous micro-cuvées. 

For the Aline collection, we chose together a small parcel located a few hundred meters away from his press, planted with pinot noir, meunier and chardonnay on a clay-limestone soil and an eastern exposure (rising sun). After much discussion, we decided to make three vintages, one of chardonnay, one of pinot noir and one of meunier, in order to highlight the influence and importance of the soil on the grape varieties. A total of 900 bottles are produced each year and the three grapes are vinified separately in barrel and spend 48 months on lath.

Obviously without pesticides, herbicides, chemical fertilizers and without dosage. - Collection Aline
