Frederic of Miniere F&R worked alongside Anselme Selosse, of the famed Selosse Champagne House, for two harvests in the late 90s. It was then he was fated to fall in love with Champagnes with barrel age and grapes that saw careful organic viticultural practices.
The Minière family has 2 plots of Chardonnay in the Moineaux lieu-dit, one planted by their grandfather in 1963 (0.1 ha) and the other in 1972 (0.25 ha)
