Pertois-Moriset Champagne House
Pertois-Moriset
A Deep Respect for Nature
Tradition, Precision & Innovation
Founded in 1951 in the prestigious village of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Champagne Pertois-Moriset is an independent, family-owned grower-producer with generations of winemaking heritage. Established by Yves Pertois and Janine Moriset, who united two longstanding winegrowing families from the Côte des Blancs, the estate has remained firmly in family hands. Today, their granddaughter Cécile and her husband Vincent lead the house, continuing a legacy of craftsmanship and tradition. The estate encompasses 20.70 hectares across two distinct terroirs: the Chardonnay-dominated Côte des Blancs and the Coteaux Sézannais, where both Pinot Noir and Chardonnay thrive.
At the heart of Pertois-Moriset is a commitment to sustainable viticulture and preserving the biodiversity of its vineyards. The estate employs environmentally conscious practices, including natural winter grass cover, seasonal soil cultivation and mating disruption techniques to minimise chemical intervention. Even vineyard machinery reflects this philosophy, with a fully electric straddle tractor used for mechanical work. By nurturing healthy soils and respecting the natural balance of the vineyard, the family ensures that each harvest captures the purity and distinctive character of its Champagne terroirs.
Combining generations of expertise with modern winemaking techniques, Pertois-Moriset produces champagnes celebrated for their precision, elegance and individuality. A purpose-built pressing facility, established in 2009, allows careful control over fermentation and ageing, while extended lees maturation develops complexity and texture. A member of the prestigious Club des Trésors de Champagne since 2015, the house has also embraced the production of single-village and single-vineyard cuvées, showcasing the remarkable diversity of its terroirs. The result is a collection of expressive, beautifully crafted champagnes that honour the family's heritage while continuing to evolve.
