Jean-Philippe grew up in Reims, in the heart of Champagne country. After years working in international finance abroad, he came to realise something that stayed with him: the world had very little access to what Ambonnay's Grand Cru terroir truly produces. A Grand Cru Champagne grown and made in one place, by one team, without compromise.

He returned to Champagne with a single purpose. The house he built takes its name from Yvonne Belhomme, the vineyard's original post-war owner, whose values of resilience, hard work, and respect for the land still guide every decision made here today. As an independent Récoltant-Manipulant, every stage of production happens within the estate. From the first grape to the final label, nothing leaves, nothing is outsourced, and nothing is added that shouldn't be there.

"Crafted with precision, patience, and respect for its origin."
