Sylvère et Cédric Massin

Sylvère and Cédric — father and son — are the duo behind Champagne Rémy Massin & Fils, based in Ville-sur-Arce, right in the heart of the Côte des Bar. Carrying forward a family tradition that began with Louis-Aristide Massin in 1865, it was Rémy Massin who, more than a century later in 1974, founded the estate as we know it today, by vinifying the family's own harvest. Sylvère soon joined the venture, and together they gradually expanded the domaine to around twenty hectares, mostly planted with Pinot Noir. The vineyards have been herbicide-free since the early 2000s and are now certified Haute Valeur Environnementale (HVE) and Viticulture Durable en Champagne — a clear sign of their deep respect for the land. The slopes here are well-ventilated, well-exposed, and rooted in Kimmeridgian soils, which promise beautifully ripe fruit. Their wide-ranging lineup of Champagnes showcases bright, expressive bubbles — wines that capture all the salty, savoury charm of the Arce Valley terroirs.
