J. Clement maison is a family business, small and capable of producing high quality wines. Founded in the 1950s by Martial Clement, he was succeeded by James Clement, his son, who began working alongside his father in the vineyard and in the cellar from the age of 14. Today the fate of the small maison is entrusted to Cécile and Fabien who have the task of developing the international market. Today J. Clement can count on 9.5 hectares of vineyards (Chardonnay 20%, Pinot Noir 25%, Pinot Meunier 55%), divided into 36 parcels in 4 different villages or crus.
