The history of Champagne Olivier Marteaux in Azy-sur-Marne dates back to 1950 when Marcel Marteaux, a winegrower and nurseryman, founded the family estate. In 1968, his son Joël took over the business and expanded the vineyard. In 1998, Olivier Marteaux, Marcel's grandson, became a récoltant-manipulant and created the "Champagne Olivier Marteaux" brand in 2009. Today, the estate spans 9 hectares across around forty plots in the Marne Valley. The vineyard is managed using sustainable practices and is certified High Environmental Value (HVE). The champagnes produced reflect the terroir and the expertise passed down through three generations.
