This family’s tale began in Damery in 1857, when Eugène Cadel, a winegrower by trade, decided to produce his own brand of champagne.

In 1900, his son-in-law René Filaine, a pilot, established himself as a wine merchant, travelling all over France to sell the Champagne House’s production. In 1944, his daughter Marguerite Filaine married Louis Casters, a young man who’d come from Belgium with his family in the 1920s.

On the Liébart side, the story also begins on the slopes of Damery in 1870 with Auguste Liébart, another winegrower. His son René inherited the vineyard and he too started to market his first bottles of Liébart Champagne in 1938.

In 1969, Vincent Casters married Liliane Liébart, and the couple took over the Estate, creating the Casters Liébart brand.

Then, because family histories expand and develop with each generation, their son David Casters and his wife Cécile also began working the vines in 2000, merging their two estates. Cécile is also the fourth generation of a winegrowing family established in Saint Martin d’Ablois since 1900.
