At the heart of it all: Olivier Horiot, whose family has cultivated vines here since the 17th century. When he took over his father Serge's estate in 1999, he immediately converted to organic farming \u2013 today the domaine works biodynamically<\/strong>.\n\nWhat sets Horiot apart from others: he vinifies all seven permitted Champagne grape varieties<\/strong>, including the near-extinct Arbane. Together with his wife Marie, who oversees the cellar, around 25,000 bottles are produced annually across approximately 8 hectares \u2013 all without dosage, all Brut Nature<\/strong>.\n\n
