About The Winery
Country: France
Region: Champagne
Founded in 1931 by Marcel Hostomme, Maison M. Hostomme is a family-run estate located in Chouilly, a Grand Cru village in the heart of the Côte des Blancs. Today, the house is led by Laurent Hostomme, the founder’s great-grandson, alongside his wife Chrystelle, representing the fourth generation of winemakers.
The estate covers 15 hectares certified High Environmental Value (HVE), mainly planted with Chardonnay, complemented by Pinot Noir and Meunier sourced from the Montagne de Reims and Vallée de la Marne. This diversity of terroirs allows for the creation of balanced, expressive Champagnes, such as the Tradition Brut, known for its finesse and freshness.
The winemaking philosophy combines tradition and innovation: wines are vinified in stainless steel, oak barrels, and large oak vats, preserving the aromatic complexity and authenticity of the terroir. The house is also known for its bold projects, including bottle ageing under the sea, showcased in their distinctive “Abysse” cuvée.
Dedicated to sustainable viticulture, Maison M. Hostomme perfectly embodies the balance between family heritage, environmental respect, and a constant pursuit of quality
