  Suenen is a small new RM located in the Cote des Blancs. A small family Champagne house run by  Aurelien the son of Daniel, who took over in 2008 suddenly after his dad was diagnosed with cancer.  Aurelien found himself with a great responsibility, but with the willing to do a great job; start to be inspired after visiting producers as Pascal Agrapart and Anselme Selosse. From this visit he start to take care of the the soil of his vineyard. Between 2009 and 2011 all the chemical was banned in his soil.  Emanuel Bourguignon help him to better understand the soil collaborating with LAMS the Laboratoire D'Analyses Microbiologiques des Sols.  Suenen owns just over 3 hectare of vineyards in the villages of Cramant, Oiry, Cuis and Chouilly.  Be in the Cote des Blancs the subsoil is very chalky with a very white topsoil showing great minerality and tension.  The Rose is mainly Chardonnay with less 10% Pinot noir to give a beautiful rose colour.
