At Jeeper, excellence begins in the vineyard. For this Champagne Maison, vineyard management
is rooted in meticulous attention to the soil and the close observation of the vine.
Managed with the care and precision of a grower-producer, each parcel of this estate vineyard is closely monitored to ensure accurate control of yields and ripeness. This rigorous approach allows for harvests to be timed by grape variety, cru and locality, preserving the purest possible expression of each terroir.
Jeeper cultivates 90 hectares across some of Champagne’s finest villages. From the Montagne de Reims to the Côte des Blancs, and from the Vallée de la Marne to the Vallée de l’Ardre, this diversity forms a true mosaic of terroirs. Certified High Environmental Value and Sustainable Viticulture since 2016, the Maison practices natural cover cropping and environmentally responsible viticulture.
Naturally, this same care extends to the cellar. Jeeper possesses the third largest collection of oak barrels in Champagne, with more than 1,200 barriques. This measured use of oak refines the wines without overpowering them, bringing structure and complexity while preserving the purity of the fruit. Stainless steel vats complement this precise work.
This pursuit of excellence is revealed through emblematic cuvées such as Grand Blanc de Blancs, which embodies Jeeper’s philosophy of rigor and patience. Vinified with a meticulous, vine-by-vine approach, it showcases the noble character of Chardonnay.
The latest addition to the Maison’s collection of vintages, Millésime 2010, equally expresses the Jeeper identity. This exceptional Champagne required fourteen years of craftsmanship and maturation. Partially aged in oak, it is composed of 15% Pinot Noir from Ambonnay, 5% Meunier from Villedommange, and 80% Chardonnay from Vitry, Avize and Vincelles. The result is a cuvée that delights with freshness, tension and a delicate aromatic palette of white fruits, green apple and citrus, uplifted by floral and mineral notes. Its fine, chalky texture unfolds into a vibrant finish, ensuring remarkable ageing potential. A precise dosage of 5.04 g/l accentuates the wine’s elegance and purity.
Each cuvée, and indeed the entire philosophy of Jeeper, reflects the spirit of a Maison deeply rooted in its terroir, where every detail, from vineyard to cellar, celebrates the precision and dedication of its team.
