Val Frison

Champagne, France

Based in the village of Côte des Bar in the south of Champagne, Valerie Frison grows 6 hectares of vines planted to 93% pinot noir and 7% Chardonnay. Grown organically since 2003, of the 6 hectares grown at the estate, only 3.5 are used in the production of Val Frison with the rest going to a local cooperative. In the vineyard, Valerie is passionate about biodiversity. Opting away from the use of harmful chemicals and pesticides, she has great respect to the life of the vines to create uniquely expressive cuvées. In the winery, all the ferments are done with wild yeasts, and receive no additions of sulfur after disgorgement.
