i. Biography
Jean-Rémi Drémont co-runs the family estate Champagne Drémont-Marroy with Mélanie Drémont in the far west of the Vallée de la Marne. The clearest public credential for the house is its organic certification in 2022, a marker attached to a four-generation estate that only began releasing its own Champagne in 2021.
The Honours
Organic certification arrived in 2022 for the family estate, placing a formal credential behind the work Jean-Rémi Drémont and Mélanie Drémont had begun with the 2018 vintage. That year marked a change in direction: before 2018, the property did not make its own Champagne, selling all its grapes and wines instead. The move was not a new estate appearing from nowhere, but a new chapter inside a four-generation family holding in the Vallée de la Marne. Its first family wine came in 2018, followed by its first Champagne release in 2021. For an accolade-led reading of his work, the 2022 organic certification carries the weight: it belongs to the estate he co-runs, and it sits after the decision to stop functioning only as a supplier and begin bottling Champagnes under the family name.
The Craft
Meunier is the specialty. The Champagnes are dominated by Meunier and are described as combining juicy accessibility with a fine, firm structure and pleasant spice. Jean-Rémi Drémont’s range also reaches beyond a single house style. In his own words: “Our range includes pure, elegant and gourmet Champagnes, with low or zero dosage, as well as Coteaux Champenois and Ratafias.” Two named cuvées show the poles of that work. Noir de Méandre is a Champagne Blanc de Noirs Extra Brut made from Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir. La Lierie is a zero-dosage Champagne made from Chardonnay. Low dosage and zero dosage matter here because they are part of the stated range, not a decorative claim. The wines named above sit alongside Coteaux Champenois and Ratafias, making the estate’s output broader than Champagne alone while remaining tied to Champagne, France.
The Career
The career arc is rooted in the family property. Jean-Rémi Drémont and Mélanie Drémont lead the Drémont-Marroy family estate in the far west of the Vallée de la Marne, where the work now includes producing and releasing bottles under their own label. The decisive professional turn came with the 2018 vintage, when they began making their own Champagnes after a period in which the estate sold its grapes and wines. Their first wine came from that shift, and the first Champagne release followed in 2021. His current work is best understood through that sequence: a four-generation estate, a 2018 production pivot, a 2021 Champagne debut, and a 2022 organic certification. The result is a house identity built around Meunier-dominated Champagnes, low or zero dosage, and named bottlings such as Noir de Méandre and La Lierie.
