Michelle Gaillot
Our story begins in 1890.. a wine heritage is formed and evolved. It is passed down from father to son for five generations. The sixth generation started in 2002 and yes the first time in history by a daughter. Champagne Michel Gaillot was founded by my parents in 1977 and I want to continue that with my husband.
My passion, comes down as a triptych:
The first part is the art of working the vines. In winter, we restore, prune and bind the plots of vines to their careful geometry. In spring, the beautiful, abundant soft green shoots are realigned for summer to facilitate harvesting. In autumn the colors burst into a picture worthy of Fauvist painters.
The second part is working the wine where creativity and inspiration come together to develop every year Champagnes that have our identity. They make our senses work through their shades available in pale gold, straw yellow or white gold and of course the movement of their bubbles. Through their range of aromas, the light explosion of the cork, the rustle of fizz from the bottle to the flute. The subtle or the strong taste, the liveliness and the flexibility.
The third and last part and not the least, “YOU”. “YOU” who trusts us in the most important moments of your life. To whom we hope to give intense pleasure when tasting our Champagnes.
