Petit & Bajan

Avize & Verzenay

Champagne Petit & Bajan is the chiselled jewel of Richard and Véronique Petit. Together, they cultivate two of the greatest terroirs of Champagne: Avize and Verzenay, classified Grand Cru vineyards.

Their many meetings, tastings and reflections decidedly reveal at the end of 2008, the high potential of their terroirs to offer the form that would become their own wine. The richness of their heritage, shape its development with attention to detail, patience and requirement. Every little detail counts … and that is how we access today to the pure, precise and stylish range of Champagne Petit & Bajan.

Richard Petit acquired from his predecessors his expertise and his location of quality in which he dedicates himself to respect. He holds a qualitative and reasoned approach in his vineyard work, which is the first step to obtaining wine of exception. Attentive to the evolution of the of the vines, he practices preventions and restraint when necessary. In his development process, he seeks to carefully study oenological principles.

Richard watches over vineyards to determine the beginning of the harvest accurately. He seeks the maturity of the grapes to find all the flavours. Therefore, each day, time is spent communicating with the vines.

After complete support, Richard Petit offers time to his wines after then he proceeds to draw and bottle, then allowing more time in bottle to the wine on its own. His work is rewarded when his Champagne is ready to drink after 30 months of rest.
