Champagne Demilly De Baere

Gérard and Françoise welcome you to their beautiful U-shaped manor house. A winemaker and descendant of a family which settled in Bligny in 1624, Gérard will take you to the tasting cellar, built in the style of Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, on the ruins of the ancient fortified castle. A lover of stone construction, he has restored the vaults supported by simple yet strong “half laurel leaf ” pillars typical of Cistercian architecture. The estate stretches to the banks of the Landion, a large stream which passes through Bligny. Ever since he was a young boy, Gérard had a keen interest in the vineyards and dreamed of becoming a real winemaker someday. In 1978, he bought a vineyard with his wife, and set out to turn his dream into reality, with respect for wine and natural methods to preserve the most flavours possible. Vincent, their son, also brings his oenologist expertise to this family organization.
