Champagne La Rogerie is an exciting and fairly newer project that was founded in 2016 by Justine & François Petit-Boxler.  Both Justine and François hail from well-regarded winemaking families spanning many generations, with Justine's history rooted in Alsace, and François's heritage firmly established in Avize.  La Rogerie is actually named after François' grandfather Roger Petit, and their vineyard holdings are situated between distinguished producers Jacques Selosse and Louis Roederer.
