Baron de Marck
The Maison was officially founded in 1955, but it was in 1933 that Gervais Gobillard, pioneer of the company, decided to buy the first two hectares of vineyards, a heroic undertaking considering the unfavorable social context of the time. It was a time when only the Grand Marque Champagne Houses were successful, while the small independent houses struggled and mostly returned to farming to make a living. Only thanks to hard work, perseverance and the production of great champagnes, the family business has survived and today it is a thriving reality, still family-run, boasting a wine heritage made up of 30 hectares, mainly located in the Premier cru of Hautvillers .
With numerous awards and gold medals for Gobillard's champagnes, Champagne Brut Baron de Marck is a well-kept and little-known secret. The blend is typical of high-end champagne: one-third each of Chardonnay , Meunier and Pinot Noir . The vinification is the classic one of the Champenoise method and the aging on the lees is 15 months. Straw yellow in color and a fine and persistent perlage. The nose reveals aromas of white and yellow flowers, yellow plum and pear. The sip is fresh and creamy, with a persistent finish.
