Eight generations of Meunier expertise in Belval-sous-Châtillon
At the heart of Belval-sous-Châtillon, the R. Faivre family estate is defined by its devotion to Meunier, which makes up 80% of their vineyard holdings. Nicolas and his family practice sustainable, regenerative viticulture: no herbicides or insecticides, careful manual trellising, controlled yields through strict pruning, and vineyard-by-vineyard vinification. This parcel-based approach highlights the nuances of their chalk and clay-limestone soils with remarkable clarity. In the cellar, each parcel is pressed and vinified separately before blending. The result is a wide range of Champagnes, from pure expressions of Meunier to blends showcasing the balance of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Faivre’s style is generous yet precise — gastronomic Champagnes built for both pleasure and ageing.
