Domaine d’Hélène is the young Champagne project of Pierre Hugot, whose family has cultivated vines in Cramant since 1891. After gaining experience with some of Burgundy and Champagne’s most respected domaines, including Comte Liger Belair, Chavy Chouet, Jean Marc Roulot and Suenen, Pierre returned to the family vineyards to establish his own vision. Based in the Côte des Blancs, he works with Grand Cru vineyards in Cramant, Avize and Oger, combining organic and biodynamic principles in the vineyard with a precise, low intervention approach in the cellar. His aim is to let the chalk and Chardonnay speak clearly, producing Champagnes marked by energy, finesse and mineral precision.

The Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Vieilles Vignes is Domaine d’Hélène’s flagship cuvée, bringing together old vine Chardonnay from three Grand Cru villages of the Côte des Blancs: Cramant, Avize and Oger. The 2023 base expresses the tension and chalk driven character of these sites, with the different villages contributing depth, texture and aromatic complexity. Grapes undergo spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts, with the wine vinified and matured between stainless steel and used oak before being blended with a proportion of reserve wine and undergoing secondary fermentation in bottle. The wine spends more than 24 months on its lees before disgorgement and receives a precise 1.5g/L dosage. Citrus, lime, white flowers and green apple sit alongside fresh almond, chalk and delicate brioche, while the palate is taut and finely textured, driven by saline freshness and a long, crystalline finish.
