Domi Moreau & Fils

Mancy lies close to Épernay and is a typical Champagne village. This is where the winemakers Nathalie and Max welcome visitors for tastings. The house trades as Champagne Domi Moreau et Fils. The commercial register lists Max Domi as managing director. The company was registered on 20 January 1993. The estate works as a Récoltant-Manipulant, which means it makes champagne from its own grapes.

Grape varieties, vineyard sites and cuvées

The vineyard is planted with Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir. For the Cuvée Tradition, the grapes come from the vineyards of Mancy and Cuis. The range includes the Cuvée Tradition, the Cuvée d'Argent, a Blanc de Blancs and a Rosé. The wines are made following the Méthode champenoise, with the grapes vinified in stainless steel tanks. The house gives no figures for vineyard area or bottle production in the sources I checked.

Visiting the estate

The estate sets great store by visitors. In a warm, family atmosphere, the winemakers lead you through their vineyard and show the work of a grower through the course of the year. The tours start at 9.30am and at 2.30pm. A minibus tour is included. A vineyard tour by bike is possible by arrangement. Guests report that Nathalie accompanies the tours and explains along the way in French and English. She talks about the winemaker's trade, her family and the places along the route.

The estate also has a guest house. It is currently closed because of building work. Ask about the current situation before you travel. The best way to arrange a tasting and tour is by phone or email in advance. The address is 11 Rue du Bas, 51530 Mancy.
