Grower Champagne & Marie Copinet

We've had numerous requests for Champagne lately, so after months of waiting we're delighted to announce the arrival of this independent, female-owned, organic-certified grower Champagne producer who specialises in Blanc de Blancs.

Champagne Marie Copinet is run by Marie Laure Copinet and her husband Alexandre Kowal, both from long-established Champagne families. The Domaine was founded in the 1970s by Marie Laure’s father, Jacques Copinet, and is based in Montgenost, in the Côte de Sézanne, an hour southwest of Epernay. 

Today, Marie runs the estate, and with the help of her husband, cultivates 9 hectares of vines across three distinct terroirs: Côte de Sézanne, Côte des Bar, and Vallée de la Marne. All three classic Champagne varieties are grown - Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier - though Chardonnay (Blanc de Blancs) is what she is most famous for.

The domaine has been certified organic since 2021, with a total of 10.5 hectares of vineyards (leased & owned) under organic management. Marie employs low-intervention winemaking methods, wild fermentation, extended lees aging, minimal dosage and extended élevage in bottle before release to ensure the wines best reflect the vines and their soils.

Copinet’s wines span from the elegant classicism of her "house-style" Blanc de Blancs Brut to the more expressive single-vineyard bottlings, capturing the nuances of each parcel and vineyard in vivid, lucid brushstrokes.

In a region where more than 19,000 growers sell the fruits of their labour to just a handful of large, corporate Champagne houses (such as Moët, Veuve etc), it is refreshing to support a small, indendent vigneronne who grows her own fruit to produce her own wine, thus embracing the true 'Grower Champagne' spirit.
