About the Producer
While Guillaume Sergent may be a lesser-known name today, his reputation is rapidly ascending among Champagne enthusiasts. The Sergent family’s roots in the vineyards of Vrigny date back to the mid-19th century. Guillaume, a trained oenologist, took the helm of the family estate in 2008, dividing the holdings with his brother (whose grapes supply Moët & Chandon). Guillaume farms just 1.5 hectares across eight parcels in Vrigny and Coulommes, maintaining a thoughtful, contemporary approach to viticulture.

Originally resistant to labels—“I’m not organic, I’m not biodynamic, I’m not raisonnée”—Guillaume ultimately sought organic certification in 2019. He follows the lunar calendar for many vineyard tasks, encourages biodiversity with natural cover crops, and relies on plant-based tisanes and traditional bouillie bordelaise to combat mildew. His guiding philosophy: “I just try to work the vines as best as I can, with respect for the plant and respect for the soil.”

Without his own cellar, Guillaume presses his grapes at the Vrigny co-operative, utilizing their pneumatic presses. Fermentation occurs in 400-litre barrels (aged four to six years), a format he prefers over the classic 228-litre barriques, having found it best expresses the nuance of his fruit.
