In the grand cru village of Aÿ, surrounded by the deep chalk and centuries of Champagne tradition, Romain Hénin is quietly reshaping what grower Champagne can be. After years of working alongside his father and learning the craft from the ground up, Romain took full charge of the family domaine and began steering it in a bold new direction — one guided by nature, precision, and patience.

His approach is thoughtful yet fearless. Romain farms organically and biodynamically, vinifies each parcel separately, and relies on spontaneous fermentations. There’s no heavy hand in the cellar — no corrections, no shortcuts — just an honest expression of terroir through Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Meunier.
