The small village of Buxeuil, in Aube, is the center of gravity of Diligent family. It is here that one could already meet, in the 17th century, Diligent working the vines. Three centuries later, André Diligent was born. It was with his father, Georges, after the Second World War, that he first put his name on his Champagne vintages. He was able to count all his life on Régine, his wife, who pushed him to pursue his passion for wine. Today, Joël and Patrick continue the work of several family generations and work to pass on all their knowledge to Thomas and Aurélien, their sons. Continuity and improvement remain their main objectives. André Diligent is a classic Récoltant Manipulateur (RM) winery that produces its wines in Buxueil, in the heart of the Côte des Bar. It is in the south of the Champagne region, in the heart of the Côte des Bar, that the 10 hectares of owned vineyards flourish of Diligent. They cover some of the main municipalities of the Champagne appellation: Buxeuil, where their cellars are located, Polisy, Gyé-sur-Seine, Balnot-sur-Laignes and Les Riceys. The vines, 15 to 40 years old, benefit from the particular terroir of the Côte des Bars; composed of Jurassic hillsides, established on Kimmeridgian limestone.
