The Normand's family’s 11.5 hectares of vines in seven villages around Bar-sur-Seine in Côtes des Bar are still mainly growing grapes for the big players but step-by-step, the duo are increasing their own production. ‘In 2013 we made 6.000 bottles and in 2019 already 15.000 bottles.’ Simon spent two years of his wine making apprenticeship in Burgundy working for the renowned producer Bouchard Père et Fils. Here he learnt the importance of each individual plot and the way to integrate oak without overpowering the wines. Today he and his sister Marie preside over the vineyards and winery.
The Domaine is farmed with a total respect for nature and is intent on preserving and encouraging biodiversity. Domaine La Borderie holds both “High Environmental Value” certification and “Sustainable Viticulture in Champagne” certification.
