Champagne Stroebel

Timothée Stroebel's family settled in Champagne after the Second World War. The vines will be planted at the beginning of the 1960s in the village of Villers Allerand, a micro-terroir classified 1er Cru on the Montagne de Reims. It would take two generations without winegrowers in the Stroebel family for Timothée to decide to take over from his grandfather. Trained in Burgundy, Timothée reunited the family plot and moved into his grandparents' house in 2001. In 2005, he began producing his own wines. The vines are a stone's throw from the house, on terroirs and with very different exposures. These terroirs, these exposures, give Timothée a strong orientation for winemaking. Pinot Meunier planted due south will as often as possible be vinified in red Champagne hillsides, for example.
The vines are grassed, recently Timothée experimented with grazing sheep in his vineyards to mow.
In the cellar, he favors large barrel formats (400L and more) to age the wines without marking them. All fermentations take place with native yeasts, the wines are not refrigerated, not dosed and not filtered.
