Champagne

Now world-renowned, the Champagne appellation did not come about overnight. The history of Champagne spans several centuries and is rich in twists and turns. It began with a terroir so unique that it produced the most original wines, thanks to the talent of men who knew how to express its delicate character and enhance it with effervescence. The originality of Champagne wines quickly became renowned. By the beginning of the 20th century, Champagne already had the power of a myth. The people of Champagne decided to protect it by establishing a strictly defined area and common production rules, which resulted in the recognition of the Champagne appellation d'origine contrôlée (AOC).

Champagne wines owe their inimitable character to a very special terroir, located in a northern geographical position, at the limit of the vine-growing zone. The vineyard is thus subject to a harsh climate, but this is softened by the influence of the ocean. The mainly limestone subsoil provides the vines with constant natural irrigation. The hillside location promotes good sunlight exposure for the vines and allows excess water to drain away. Whether brut or dry, vintage or non-vintage, Champagne is directly associated with French expertise in spirits. Whether you are looking for a bottle of the essential white, a rosé version, a special cuvée, or a classic product that you love, we have something to delight every palate. Our wide selection of bottles also includes blancs de blancs, for those who are looking for a superior Champagne.

Since 1935, only three grape varieties have been authorized in Champagne. Pinot Noir gives the wine red fruit aromas. It is the grape variety that brings body and power to the blend. Pinot Meunier, a supple and fruity grape variety, brings its intense bouquet. It evolves more quickly over time and gives the wine roundness. Chardonnay provides finesse. It gives floral notes and its slow evolution makes it an ideal complement for the maturation of wines. We assure you that you will find the essential bottles for celebrating your upcoming events this year or THE bottle that you will set aside for a special occasion.

The exceptional reputation of Champagne wines is undoubtedly as much the result of the wonderful surprises that can be found among the "small" producers as it is of the excellence of the very large houses, of which we can only provide an incomplete list. You will find our entire selection on our website, enough to delight all wine lovers. We have different Champagnes to satisfy all requirements: brut, dry, demi-sec, sweet, extra-brut...
