Our vineyard is exclusively located in Chouilly, a town with the Grand Cru classification of the Côte des Blancs. The main part of our vineyard (96%) is planted in Chardonnay, a variety of vine which is known for giving fine and complex wines. Pinot Noir makes up the rest of the production.

A large part of plots (the average age is more than 30 years) allows us to produce very different grapes but top-quality grapes. Actually, young and old vines bring their best. We do everything in our power to ensure that each type of vine will be made into wine separately after the pressing. It allows us to sublimate their nature during the blending.

The quality of these grapes so precious is the essential element of all cuvee. That is why we are devoted to get a perfect maturity thanks to demanding and sustainable viticulture methods (yields restrictions, growing grass between the rows, treatments limits, protection of the environment) and the optimum date for harvesting.

In 2012, the Champagne Vazart-Coquart was among the first wine estates in France to be certified “High Environmental Value Vineyard.” This certification was implemented by the Ministry of Agriculture, it allows to identify estates which are committed to respectful steps toward the environment. It proves you that we make our best for the biodiversity and the respect of the planet.

We are controled every 18 months to ensure these commitments.

The goose is the power animal of the town of Chouilly, which was used to shelter several breedings. These birds regularly went to the “Tarnauds” - it is the local river - to drink, altering sometimes the traffic. By association, inhabitants became called “bilots” which means “geese” in the dialect of the region.

We find the goose as the symbol of the Champagne VAZART-COQUART on labelling and capsuling. On the labels, the 3 geese are an allusion to the past generations of winemakers. Jean-Pierre Vazart has been representing the 3^rd generation.

The Club Trésors de Champagne symbolizes “the excellence of the wine area in its diversity.”

Jean-Pierre Vazart integrated the club in 1996, he has always been seeking excellence.

The specific excellence of this group composed of 27 winegrowers consists in making two compulsory tastings: clear wine before the bottling and after three years of bottle-aging. The bottle which is identifiable by its size of an old bottle of the Champagne region which is true to the tradition.

The specificity of the House Vazart-Coquart is the complete aging under cork in the cellar.
