"Tradition is not an old habbit; it is reassuring".
Edward Norton

THE MÉTÉYER FAMILY ESTATE HAS BEEN PASSED DOWN THROUGH SIX GENERATIONS :

In the 1860s, Pierre Clément, a winemaker from Trélou-sur-Marne, inherited one hectare of vines from his father-in-law, Arthur Narcy, who lived in Montigny-sous-Châtillon.

In 1929, Pierre Clément became the first in his village to install his own press, a 2000 kg model. That year, he pressed 156 barrels of wine for the village, totaling about 32,000 liters, a considerable amount for the time!

His son, Jean Clément, then took over and expanded the estate through exchanges and land acquisitions. He leased his vines to his son-in-law, Jacky Météyer, who, along with his wife Annette, continued to grow the Champagne Météyer estate.

Today, Franck Météyer, great-grandson of Pierre Clément, manages the family estate alongside his wife Anna, welcoming visitors with charm and hospitality.
