A FAMILY ressemblance
Lété-Vautrain joined Sophie and Ignace Baron in 2011. Out of respect for Lété-Vautrain’s outstanding work, they wanted to preserve the identity and independence of the brand.
EXCLUSIVE WINE GROWER AND MAKER since 1968
The story begins at Château-Thierry in 1968 when Robert Lété and his wife Liliane Vautrain founded the family business.
Over the years, they planted small areas on their original 0.4-hectare plot to progressively reach the 7.5-hectare vineyard of today.
Their daughter, Michèle, and their son, Frédéric, carried on and developed the vineyard and in 2011 they decided to pass it down to a second family in the Champagne region, one which is the deeply rooted in winemaking traditions in the Vallée de la Marne: the Baron-Fuenté family.
Our vineyard
primarily stretches over the villages of Château-Thierry and Essômes-sur-Marne.
We also own two historical vineyards in the village of Leuvrigny, near Epernay.
Environmentally friendly practices
Our environmentally friendly practices are based on: respecting the resources which are naturally available in our ecosystem (interplanting, protecting crops from wild animals, and soil fertility);
Reducing our environmental impact (greenhouse gases, limiting inputs, and protecting water resources);
Preserving the local biodiversity and the diversity of the landscape by creating green spaces that surround out plots (hedges and fallow land);
