"Charles Dufour is a young grower and winemaker, farming 6 certified organic hectares in Landreville in Côtes des Bars region of the Aube département. Coming from a family steeped in the winemaking traditions of this off the beaten track of a Champagne region, some of the vines were planted by his grandfather and are quite old. Charles favors working with natural yeasts for the fermentations of his wines and the wines are free of added sulphur. Charles has taken an interest in employing Pinot Blanc in his cuvées, with this varietal figuring significantly in his Bulles de Comptoir bottlings. Dosage is extremely low as well, sometimes only 2g/liter. The Liqueur de tirage is a blend of his own wine and cane sugar and the yeasts used in the secondary fermentation are derived from his own vineyards. None of his wines are ever fined or filtered.

Champagne Françoise Martinot is a label under Charles’ mother, Françoise Martinot. She harvests her own vineyards in Landreville, and Charles helps to make the Champagne."
