Located in the heart of the Marne Valley, this family estate has been the anchor of several generations of winemakers. The domain, with its 35 plots, extends to Damery, autvilliers, Cumières and Fleury-La-Rivière. The roots of the Geoffroy family go back to the 17th century. In the early 1950s, the Roger Geoffroy brand was born. René Geoffroy, son of founder Roger Geoffroy and his wife Julienne, soon succeeds his father. Their brand is further developed together with his wife Bernadette. Over the years, Jean-Baptiste joined this family estate in 1980, together with his wife Karine.
