As the majority of Champagne wine makers, we come from a
wine growers' family. After our wedding, we created in 1973 the Champagne Denis
MARX.
Nicolas, our son, joined us in 2001 after having studied the wine growing
method.
Today, we are working 11 hectares of vines covering 7 villages in the
Vallée de la Marne, between Dormans and Epernay.
Our estate cultivates the 3
Champagne grape varieties: Pinot Meunier 70%, Chardonnay 15% and Pinot noir
15%. Thus, we have a perfect range to create our cuvées. Our range received the
Dussert-Gerber 5 Hearts Honor Award in 2023.

The
vines we cultivate are situated in 7 villages of the Vallée de la Marne,
between Dormans and Epernay, which brings a lot of diversity in terms of
terroirs, sun exposure, hilly areas, soils and climates. Our regional subsoil
is mainly composed of marl, clay, sand and limestone.
This
combination of characteristics gives us a large range of different grapes to
make champagnes of quality each year.

de nos cuvées.

Les
vignes que nous exploitons sont réparties sur 7 communes de la Vallée de la
Marne, entre Dormans et Epernay, ce qui apporte une grande diversité de
terroirs, expositions, reliefs, sols, climats. Le sous-sol de notre région est
essentiellement à tendance marneuse, argileuse, sableuse et crayeuse.
Tous
ces facteurs réunis nous donnent une grande palette de raisins différents pour
vinifier chaque année des champagnes de qualité.
Our
champagnes are created from our harvests only and are vinified in our estate.
We
cultivate the 3 main Champagne grape varieties:
Pinot Meunier 70%,
Chardonnay
15%,
Pinot noir 15%.
Pinot
Meunier gives supple and fruity wines and brings roundness to the blending.
Pinot noir is known for bringing body and strength to the blending. Chardonnay
is characterized by delicate aromas of flowers and citrus fruits.
In
general, our champagnes are created from the blending of the 3 Champagne grape
varieties but also from several years. We mainly use the first pressing juices
we call “cuvée”.
The
variety of our range of champagne gives you the opportunity to taste it from
the aperitif to the dessert and in any occasion.
Issus
uniquement de notre récolte, nos champagnes sont tous vinifiés sur
l'exploitation.
Nous
cultivons les trois principaux cépages champenois :
Pinot meunier 70 %,
Chardonnay 15 %,
Pinot noir 15 %.
Le
Pinot meunier donne des vins souples et fruités apportant à l'assemblage de la
rondeur. Le Pinot noir est réputé pour apporter à l'assemblage du corps et de
la puissance. Le Chardonnay se caractérise par des arômes délicats, des notes
florales, d'agrumes.
Nos
vins sont généralement des champagnes d'assemblage des trois cépages champenois
mais aussi de plusieurs millésimes. Nous utilisons principalement les premiers
jus de presse appelés « la cuvée ».
Notre
gamme de champagne est variée, ce qui vous permet de la déguster de l'apéritif
au dessert et pour toutes les occasions festives.
