Champagne

The world-famous Champagne appellation was not created overnight. The history of Champagne goes back several centuries, and is rich in adventure. It begins with a terroir so particular that it gave birth to the most original of wines, thanks to the talent of men who knew how to express its delicate typicity and sublimate it through effervescence. The originality of Champagne wines soon became renowned. By the early 20th century, Champagne already had the force of myth. The Champenois decided to protect it by establishing a strictly delimited area and common production rules, which led to the recognition of the Champagne appellation d'origine contrôlée.

Champagne wines owe their inimitable typicity to a very special terroir, in a northern geographical position, at the limit of the vine-growing area. The vineyards are thus exposed to a harsh climate, softened by oceanic influences. A predominantly limestone subsoil provides the vines with constant natural irrigation. The vineyard is planted on slopes, which ensures good sun exposure and drainage of excess water. Whether brut or dry, vintage or non-vintage, Champagne is directly associated with French spirits expertise. Whether you're looking for a bottle of the essential white, a rosé version, a special cuvée or a classic you're fond of, we've got something to delight every palate. Our wide selection of bottles also includes blanc de blancs, for those looking for a superior Champagne reference.

Since 1935, only three grape varieties have been authorized in Champagne. Pinot Noir gives the wine its red fruit aromas. It's the grape that brings body and power to the blend. Pinot Meunier, a supple, fruity grape, brings an intense bouquet. It evolves more rapidly over time, giving the wine roundness. Chardonnay provides finesse. Its floral notes and slow evolution make it an ideal complement for maturing wines. We're sure you'll find the bottles you need to celebrate your upcoming events this year, or THE bottle you'll want to set aside for a special occasion.

The exceptional reputation of Champagne wines is undoubtedly as much the result of the magnificent surprises revealed by the "small" producers as it is of the excellence of the great houses, of which we can only mention an incomplete list. You'll find our entire selection on our website, enough to delight all grape lovers. We have a range of Champagnes to suit all tastes: brut, sec, demi-sec, doux, extra-brut... Our wine-loving clientele also love our best vintages in "bubbly" versions to celebrate events with friends and family. The Champagne House Dom Pérignon leads the way in this regard, but does not eclipse others such as Champagne Bollinger, Champagne Charles Heidsieck, Champagne Roederer, Champagne Jacquesson, Champagne Krug, Champagne Billecart-Salmon, Champagne Henriot, Champagne Deutz, Champagne Taittinger, Champagne Larmandier-Bernier, Champagne Pol Roger, Champagne Ruinart, Champagne Jacques Salosse...
