Champagne house Dehours & fils is located in Cerseuil (Mareuil-le-Port), a village on the south bank halfway along the Marne Valley that extends west of Épernay.
This valley is mainly planted with meunier: it is a late-flowering grape that is very resistant to spring frosts, which are common in this area.
Fourth-generation winemaker Jerôme Dehours has extensive experience with meunier: approximately two-thirds of his plantings consist of meunier.
The estate's vineyards are spread over 42 plots between the villages of Mareuil-le-Port, Troissy and Oeuilly. The viticulture is environmentally friendly and no chemicals are used.
With their differences in soil type, altitude, age, sun exposure and grape variety, they form the richly varied base material for Dehours champagnes.
