Vincent speaks of them and lives by them.\u003cbr\u003e“We have been in Treslon since 1818. Winegrowers since the 17th century. I’m not even sure I could imagine myself anywhere else. It feels self-evident. Something that doesn’t need to be questioned.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2012, Vincent joined the family venture, his mind brimming with ideas and ambitions. Vineyard practices, winemaking, brand identity, work organisation and commercial strategy all inspired his desire to experiment, to innovate and to move the estate forward. Passionate, committed and meticulous, he invests himself fully in every aspect of his craft.\u003cbr\u003e“I want and need to be everywhere. The vineyard allows me to be outdoors, as close to nature as possible. Wine is about sharing and pleasure. Marketing is the culmination of it all. If I had one wish, it would simply be to have more time.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eIt should also be remembered that the estate is not solely devoted to viticulture.\u003cbr\u003e“We are farmers as well. Agriculture has always been part of our activity, through both arable farming and the vineyards. The development of a Champagne brand has given new dimension to the winegrowing side of the estate, but agriculture is still very much present. And that matters to me. When I was younger, I used to say I wanted to become a ‘farmer-winegrower’. That idea still shapes the way I approach this profession.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eOver the years, Vincent has learned, tested, tried, experimented, moved forward and refined the winegrower he aspired to become.\u003cbr\u003e“I explored different paths for several years. In 2017, I experienced a turning point, sparked by training focused on soil health. Everything became clear. I wanted terroir-driven wines. Wines that tell the story of a place, a soil, and an agricultural and viticultural identity. To achieve this, I wanted the land to express itself fully, and the vines to draw deeply from the soil. I therefore began to adapt our vineyard practices. Today, I have chosen to move towards organic certification.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eGrape \/ Blend \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e100 % Pinot Meunier\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eOrigin\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eChampagne, France\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaker's Tasting Notes\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eA Champagne for pleasure, L’Inattendue is produced exclusively from the terroir of Treslon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnexpected because it is rare in Champagne to see an entry-range cuvée made from a single grape variety : a 100% Pinot Meunier, the main grape variety on the estate.
