History of Champagne Mathieu Deshautels

The story of Champagne Mathieu Deshautels is one of returning to his roots after a remarkable international journey. Born into a winegrowing family firmly established in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger and Cramant, Mathieu Deshautels chose to forge his own path before returning to take over the family plots. After studying enology in Beaune, he gained experience around the world: in Burgundy with Claire Naudin, in the Jura with Marin Fumey, and in South Africa, Greece and Australia, where he worked at Domaine By Farr. These travels profoundly shaped his view of wine and strengthened his conviction that great champagne begins above all with vibrant, respectful viticulture.

Back in Champagne, Mathieu settled in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, transformed the practices he had inherited and established his cellars in Aÿ, in the Marne Valley. He converted the estate to organic and biodynamic farming, extended aging on the lees and eliminated added sulfites. Alongside his work as a winegrower, he shares his passion by teaching viticulture and enology in Reims—an educational endeavor that extends his commitment to distinctive, authentic Champagne with its sights firmly set on the future.

Terroirs and Vines of Champagne Mathieu Deshautels

The estate draws its distinctive character from two emblematic Côte des Blancs terroirs, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger and Cramant, both classified as Grands Crus under Champagne’s village classification. These villages sit on a layer of exceptionally fine, pure chalk, which gives the wines their legendary mineral vibrancy, fine bubbles and extraordinary aging potential. This chalk drains freely yet can supply moisture to the roots during dry summers, acting as a vital regulator of temperature and water availability for ideal Chardonnay ripening.

The vines of Champagne Mathieu Deshautels are farmed organically and biodynamically, without synthetic chemical inputs. Soil cultivation takes priority, ground cover is carefully managed, and biodiversity is encouraged to foster thriving microbial life. The vines, some of them old, are carefully pruned and yields deliberately limited to produce grapes with remarkable aromatic concentration. Chardonnay, the leading variety of the Côte des Blancs, accounts for almost all the vineyard plots and finds ideal conditions here to express the very best of Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs.

Winemaking at Champagne Mathieu Deshautels

Winemaking at Champagne Mathieu Deshautels reflects a philosophy of minimal intervention, shaped by the years Mathieu spent alongside natural winemakers in Burgundy and the Jura. The grapes are hand-harvested at full ripeness, gently pressed and taken to the cellars in Aÿ, where the juice is fermented in oak barrels. Alcoholic fermentation takes place with native yeasts and no added sulfites, in keeping with a deep commitment to expressing the fruit and its origin.

The wines then rest on their fine lees for several months—generally eleven months for the first cuvées—gaining texture, aromatic complexity and natural stability. No fining or aggressive filtration alters the wine. Secondary fermentation takes place in the bottle according to the traditional Champagne method, followed by extended aging on racks that refines the bubbles and reveals the Chardonnay’s mineral depth. Disgorgement is carried out with no dosage or an extremely low dosage, giving the cuvées a crisp, focused Brut Nature character and crystalline purity.

The Cuvées of Champagne Mathieu Deshautels

Premier Voyage: a true statement of the estate’s vision, this inaugural cuvée is a Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs made entirely from Chardonnay grown on family plots in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger and Cramant. Fermented and aged in oak barrels for eleven months with no added sulfites, then disgorged as Brut Nature, this champagne stands out for its chalky vibrancy and notes of ripe citrus, white flowers and delicate pastry, followed by a remarkably long saline finish. Limited to just 997 bottles, this rare cuvée marks the first chapter of a promising winegrowing venture. Already sought after by lovers of distinctive champagnes, it combines purity and energy with a faithful expression of the Côte des Blancs’ Grand Cru terroir.
