Pernet-Lebrun — Winery in Mancy

The story of Pernet-Lebrun began back in 1850 in Mancy, five kilometres south of Épernay on the Côteaux Sud: a quiet, authentic winegrowing village far from the bustle of the big houses. For five generations two families, Pernet and Lebrun, have cultivated their vineyards on these slopes. In 1930 Xavier Lebrun and Mireille Courty bought the Moulin de Mancy, the old mill that is still the heart of the estate. In 1959 the marriage of Jackie Pernet and Joëlle Lebrun gave birth to the Pernet-Lebrun name. Today Janick and Florence Pernet run the house as the fourth generation, and the fifth is ready to follow. If you're visiting the Côte des Blancs, this house is well worth a visit. In a corner of the small village you cross a little stone bridge and go through the gate, and you immediately notice you're visiting a welcoming family business. No fuss, but a warm welcome, explanation, and everything can be tasted. And what beautiful Champagnes...
