t’s those who have gone before us, going back over many generations of vignerons, whom we have to thank for whatever skills and savoir-faire that we are fortunate enough to possess today at L & S Cheurlin.

Both Sebastien and Lucie have vivid memories of their great grandfather Etienne. It was he who took Sebastien on long walks in the vineyards and taught him to listen to and tune in to Nature. For Lucie, Etienne was a sort of magician who understood everything about plants and could heal no end of childhood ailments with herbal and plant-based remedies.

Their father Richard was equally as enamoured of Nature. He used to tell them “the plants and the animals can tell us everything about the health of the soil and of our vines”. He taught them to respect the vineyards and to treat each plot separately as well as the wines it produced, so as to preserve each one’s individual identity.

With a childhood like that, it was only natural that after finishing their studies andtrying their hand at a variety of jobs in the world of wine, Lucie and Sebastien were drawn to organic farming when they came back into the family business.

Today they have 5 hectares of vines all cultivated organically and planted with Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and a little Pinot Blanc. They’d be delighted to welcome you and let you taste their champagnes, made with love in their very special corner of La Côte des Bar.
