The name **HATT *et* SÖNER**

When deciding upon a new name for the house we had to take into consideration that the French government demands a surname or forename in the brand.\
\
We chose HATT, which is the Swedish word for hat, bringing our story full-circle and paying homage to the family’s relationship to their millinery background. SÖNER is the Swedish word for sons, as we are three generations of family Ruscon and Vallois sons involved in the house, so far.

**Our story**

Together Kristofer, his father Michel, the Vallois family and their investors soon discovered that change was necessary in order to move beyond what once had been and thus the idea of creating a bold, innovative champagne house was born. From that moment the house has steadily grown with a strong and powerful mission to make a real difference, in Champagne itself and beyond. The Vallois family had worked in viniculture for four generations and thus had a proud tradition behind them.

Today HATT et SÖNER has taken many of the steps to follow along the path we set out on over a decade ago including the joyous change of heart by Céline Vallois, Francois' daughter who took the role as the head winemaker. Together we look to the future with great anticipation and excitement while always staying true to the legacy of our past.

Joseph Ruscon celebrated his 98th birthday and the occasion was of course fêted with the opening a bottle of champagne dedicated to the man himself, Le Grand-Père, a bottle that holds a story, our story, that began many years ago.

Toward the end of the seventies Joseph frequented blind Champagne tastings and it was at one of them that he tasted the Champagne created by the Vallois family that was to become what HATT et SÖNER is today.

Despite the friendship that grew between the two families of Ruscon and Vallois, never did Joseph imagine that thirty years later his grandson would inextricably link them together by the love of his grandfather's Champagne of choice. Over the next three years Kristofer nurtured that tiny seed to carefully spread its roots and become the foundation of what HATT et SÖNER is today.

**What we do**

HATT et SÖNER may not be the oldest or largest champagne house, but it is unquestionably the most daring. The world of champagne is a tapestry of earth, time, and transformation, embodying the alchemy of nature and human touch. Our passion and handicraft shows itself in our cuvées.

Our vineyards are carefully chosen and acquired among the top quality terroir of Champagne; in the Grands and Premiers Cru villages of La Côte des Blancs, cultivating the finest grape of them all - Chardonnay (while using just some Pinot Noir for our Rosé wine).

**Each of our wines have an identity, far from the standardisation of taste, created in the intersection between heaven, earth and man.**
