MALINGRE TRUCHON Vieilles Vignes Champagne Brut

MAISON MALINGRE TRUCHON Champagne

The Malingre Truchon maison is a familiar property located in the heart of the Massiccio di Saint-Thierry, near Reims.

Prouilly is located in the Marna district, 13 km north-west of Reims. Here in this little village these are not less than 50 vines with 130 vines!

Land of invasions and migrations, generations of winemakers have created a unique alchemy between soil, climate, grape varieties, and a highly original winemaking process, thus obtaining, after centuries of research, Champagne.

In turn, Agnès and Etienne Malingre perpetuate this tradition to offer this prestigious wine directly from their house.

The family has been present in Prouilly for nearly 400 years. Claude Malingre, born in 1633, was a farmer and winemaker.

For a long time, the estate’s vineyards produced a light red wine, exported to the North and Flanders. In 1860, Gabriel Malingre cultivated two hectares of vines in a haphazard and uneven style.

Unfortunately, phylloxera, downy mildew, competition from wines from the South of France, then the First World War and the crisis of the 1930s decimated wine production.

In 1960, Jacques Malingre, Etienne’s father, began producing Champagne. Today, 6 hectares of vines spread across 32 plots are cultivated with the utmost respect for the soil and the environment.
