Roger Manceaux
Not at the start of a sentence but in the echo of the Montagne de Reims, Roger Manceaux in Rilly‑la‑Montagne stands as a true grower: a small domaine founded in 1947, taking its own Tirage as a Récoltant‑Manipulant from 1952, with Premier‑Cru parcels rooted in chalk.
The philosophy is stated plainly—viticulture raisonnée—where biodiversity is daily work, not a slogan. In the cellar, balance comes from blending the wine of the year with reserve wines: Cuvée de Réserve (1er Cru) unites 45% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay and 25% Meunier, then follows the classic arc of second fermentation in bottle, Remuage and a disgorgement that is granted time, not haste.
Here, craft is not luxury but duty to place: a Grower Champagne that doesn’t explain the chalk—it collaborates with it, bottle by bottle.Roger Manceaux
