Champagne François Secondé

Champagne François Secondé is an independent wine maker and the only harvester-maker (récoltant manipulant) and Champagne producer of pure Sillery Champagne.

Aged 14, François Secondé left school and started to work as an apprentice before becoming a vineyard worker. He started by leasing a vineyard and bought his first one in 1972. In 1976, he increased his lease to 3 hectares and with the help of his wife Anne-Marie, started producing his own Champagne.

Sillery became renowned at the beginning of the 17th century thanks to Nicolas Brûlart, Sillery Castle and vineyard owner. He was Henry IV’s Chancellor and this connection helped him to get his wine tasted by the king and his private circle.
