La Rogerie

Champagne, France

François Petit and Justine Boxler run Champagne La Rogerie, a young domaine founded in 2016 in Avize on the Côte des Blancs. He hails from a multi-generational Champagne family with 1950s vines in Grand Cru sites; she brings Alsace heritage from Boxler, creating a dual-terroir project spanning both regions.

They farm 2.3ha organically/biodynamically in Avize, Cramant, and Oger using horse plowing, no chemicals, and cover crops for biodiversity, vinifying parcels separately with native yeasts and long lees aging in barrel/bottle.

Their Champagnes emphasize purity, chalk expression, and old-vine depth from massale selections planted 1937-1961, blending tradition with joyful, terroir-driven precision.
