Roots & PassionSINCE 1920

Juliette, the great grandmother of Florence and great, great grandmother of Robin, brought up alone her only son. With a strong personality, she fought to build some future for him.
Félicien started growing vineyards on his mother’s land in Grauves, and worked as a farm labourer, and lumber-jack, to make ends meet. His three children, Raphaël, Gérard and Roland, took all the risks to develop the estate, investing and working hard, and became in the course of time one of the most important family owned estates in the Champagne region.

It is in Bisseuil, at the crossroad of the three great wine producing regions in Champagne, that they built the seat of their family estate.

From 1920, it was in Grauves that Félicien BAUCHET, a farmer and man of the land, cultivated his one-hectare vinyard, planted on the land of his mother Juliette, to harvest his first grapes with the Champagne appellation. In the 60s, his 3 sons, Raphael, Gérard and Roland, joined him and together they went on to develop the family estate. Year after year, the enterprising dynamism of the brothers allowed them to buy vineyard lands and eventually brought the total land they worked on to more than 33 hectares.
Next to this in Bisseuil, new buildings and cellars were equipped with modern and efficient equipment, still in keeping with tradition, to preserve their status as producer, harvester and handler.

Today, Robin BAUCHET, grandson of Roland, and Florence, daughter of Gérard, manage the handling of the estate. Robin manages the family vineyards, Florence is in charge of communications, and sales of the range of the BAUCHET champagnes.
