- Le Clos Sainte Corneille, a south- to southeast-facing site on the border to the vineyards of Romigny (and therefore close to Olizy). This single vineyard site continues across the border into Romigny, under the same name. The part on Jonquery is located in the upper half of the slope.
Champagne producers
Champagne growers
Producer status is indicated where known: RM = récoltant-manipulant, or grower-producers. RC = récoltant-coopérateur, growers that are cooperative members but sell Champagnes under their own name.
- Gaëtane (RC, Facebook page), which has owners with the surname Perignon.
- Auguste Huiban (RM, Facebook page), run by Isabelle and Eric Ammeux since 1991. Some of the Champagnes are sold under the name Paul Augustin. Those Champagnes are entirely or partly produced using grapes from vineyards in Fontaine-sur-Aÿ that are owned since 2005, which led to this brand being added, named for the two sons Paul-Louis and Auguste. The Paul Augustin range includes a vintage Champagne.
- Poudras-Thibaut (RM)
