Champagne Jean-NOËL Haton Brut Réserve
Appellation Champagne
This 4th generation family owned Estate is located in the Marne Valley, 7 kms from Epernay in the town of Damery. They currently own 20 hectares of vineyards and purchase grapes for a volume equal to 75 hectares all over Champagne including Grands Crus and Premiers Crus. They cover about 80 crus including 8 Crus from their own Estates.
Octave Haton founded the House in 1920 in difficult times when the Champagne sales were only performed by a handful of large houses. The turning point in the history of the house took place with the arrival of Jean-Noël. To cope with increased demand for Champagne Haton, the status of “negociant-manipulant” was then adopted in the 70’s. Today, they are part of the top 30 producers of Champagne in volume when they are over 5000 producers covering the appellation.
