The village of Montgueux is a geological outlier—a solitary, south-facing hill of 90-million-year-old Upper Cretaceous chalk rising dramatically above a flat expanse of fertile farmland. It was here in 1919 that Hélène Beaugrand’s great-grandfather, Léon, planted his first post-phylloxera vines, eventually securing the village's AOC Champagne status in 1927. Today, Hélène Beaugrand and her son, Cédric, represent the fourth and fifth generations to craft wine from this historic outcropping. Hélène brings a global perspective to her eponymous 3-hectare estate, having worked harvests in South Africa, New Zealand, Australia, California, and Mexico before returning home. Fusing deep ancestral knowledge with a modern, low-intervention approach, she farms according to biodynamic ethos. In the cellar, she prioritizes single-plot vinification and little to no dosage to let the natural ripening power and distinct winds of Montgueux shine. The resulting cuvées perfectly mirror Hélène's international expertise and local heritage. They deliver a modern, structured, and laser-focused expression of what is widely considered one of the most compelling and historical Chardonnay terroirs in all of Champagne.
