Marion Perseval spent six years working in dental prosthetics before realizing she missed the vineyards she'd grown up around. She's a 6th generation vigneron, and in 2019 she came back to start her own label. Her father Gérard had already been growing cover crops in the vineyards since the 1980s, believing in biodiversity long before it became fashionable, and Marion took that philosophy further with full organic certification.
Chamery is a 1er Cru village in the Montagne de Reims, historically known for Chardonnay with real structure, and Marion farms just 1.26 hectares there, production is tiny by any measure. In the cellar, she avoids fining, filtering, cold stabilization, and in this case dosage, because the whole point is to let the place speak as clearly as possible. Making a zero-dosage Champagne that feels balanced and approachable rather than austere is genuinely hard to do, and she's done it.
