Maison Huiban

The history of Maison Huiban is a rich tapestry woven through five generations of women who have led the farm and winery in Jonquery, Vallée de la Marne. This family tradition emphasises femininity and resilience, particularly highlighted by the rebuilding efforts after the destruction during the World Wars. Gaston Vély, Isabelle’s great-grandfather, was pivotal in this restoration after World War I.

The family has been integral to the Champagne trade since 1880, initially as grape suppliers before venturing into winemaking. Isabelle Huiban and her husband Eric Ammeux have been at the helm since 1991, expanding their champagne offerings and creating two distinct brands: Auguste Huiban Champagne, which showcases the Pinot Meunier grape, and Paul Augustin Champagne, named after their sons and featuring Chardonnay from Fontaine-sur-Ay.

Through dedication and a deep love for their craft, the Huiban family continues to honour their heritage while producing celebrated champagnes that reflect the unique terroirs of their vineyards.
