                    Champagne for all occasions

                    Billecart-Salmon

                    Founded in 1818, the house of Billecart-Salmon was created with the marriage of Nicolas Billecart and Elisabeth Salmon and is still a family-owned and run business.

                    de VENOGE

                    A Champagne house of world renown. Champagne de Venoge was founded by a Swiss, Henri-Marc de Venoge in 1837. Joseph de Venoge was the true driving force behind the firm established by his father. He launched the brand on the international scene with the help of his brother who settled in the United States. Joseph launched the first special cuvees which later became brands in their own right: Cordon Bleu in 1851, Vin des Princes in 1858.

                    Attention to detail is the hallmark of any great Champagne and de Venoge is no exception. A meticulous process ensures only the highest quality grapes are selected and traditional vertical presses are used which give minimal skin contact and to avoid discolouration. Only the first pressed cuvée is fermented to preserve the delicate flavours. Juice from the second pressing - the Taille - is not used to make Champagne de Venoge.

                    Dom Pérignon

                    Released only as a vontage, Dom Pérignon is left to age in cellars for a minimum of seven or eight years. This extended peiod of ageing prior to release is critical for harmonising the flavours and ensuring the wine's balance, elegance and sensuality.

                    J.M. Gremillet

                    Champagne Gremillet are a small, but beautifully formed family-owned Champagne house, situated in the far south of the Champagne district in Balnot Sur Laignes, near the town of Les Riceys. Due to its southern latitude the grapes achieve greater ripeness which leads to a richer fruit and classic baked-biscuit flavours mixed with characteristic toasty yeast overtones.
                    Boutinot have worked with the Gremillet family since 1996. In 2002 the family invested nearly one million euros in the property, mainly in the cuveree but also added a heated indoor swimming pool alongside their offices, a banqueting hall and (would you believe?) installed a nightclub underneath their property !!
                    Gremillet own approx 18ha of vines and buy grapes on 25-30 year contracts from growers in another 7ha. Approximately 80% of their grapes are Pinot Noir and only 20% are Chardonnay.Their annual production is approx 300,000 bottles (all sold in bottle, none sold as bulk wine). Approx 65% of their production is exported to over 80 countries (mainly into the French Embassies in old French colonial countries).

                    Krug Champagne

                    Established in 1843, Krug has specialised in solely prestige and exceptional champagnes. Dedication to quality takes precedence over quantity of production. Using traditional methods the House of Krug does not compromise time or expense with their cuvées.

                    Krug is the only Champagne House still fermenting all of its champagnes the age-old way-in small oak casks necessary for developing Krug's intense bouquet and complex flavour. Today, Henri, Rémi, Olivier and Caroline, the 5th and 6th generations of the Krug family, oversee every phase of production.

                    Lanson

                    Lanson champagnes are the fruit of centuries of tradition. Their quality stems from the combination of age-old methods with a continually fresh desire to create. They embody the aspirations, ideals and character of the people who make them, and it is this that imbues the wines with a unique style that remains unmatched in the Champagne region.

                    The four classic Lanson cuvees - Black Label, Ivory Label, Rose Label, and Gold Label - represent a rich collection of champagnes, each with its own distinctive character.

                    Laurent-Perrier

                    Laurent-Perrier is the largest family-owned champagne house and is renowned worldwide

                    Louis Roederer

                    Louis Roederer is one of the few independent family owned Houses established back in 1776. Roederer own 190 hectares which provides up to two thirds of their grape requirements. This is the largest proportion of any Champagne House and gives them strict control over their raw materials. Each year a proportion of their finest wines are added to their unique ‘Reserve Wine Cellar’. Kept in large oak casks in an air conditioned cellar until they are required for addition to the blend that is Brut Premier.

                    Moet & Chandon

                    Claude Moët, a wine trader descended from an old family resident in the Champagne region since the 14th century, founded his house in Epernay in 1743, and decided to perpetuate the Dom Perignon legacy.

                    His grandson, Jean-Rémy Moët, is the one who, in the 19th century, really helped the house expand by opening it up to foreign markets.Jean-Rémy Moët handed the house over to his son and his son-in-law, Pierre-Gabriel Chandon de Briailles. It then took on the Moët & Chandon name.

                    Perrier Jouët

                    Like all the best stories, the Perrier-Jouët story started with a wedding. In 1811 Pierre-Nicolas-Marie Perrier, a cork manufacturer, married Ad le Jouët, and set up a champagne trading house in the town of Epernay. This love match created the destiny of a great Champagne House, which has a proud heritage and a history rich in relentless endeavour and a passion for quality.

                    For almost two centuries, the Champagne House of Perrier-Jouët has created exceptional wines which epitomise the spirit of champagne, and maintain the values and traditions to which Perrier-Jouët has remained closely attached over the years.

                    Pol Roger Champagne

                    Pol Roger made his first sale of wine in January 1849. Family circumstances forced him to set up a business: his Father, a notary, had contracted an incurable disease and could no longer carry on his practice. The customer was a merchant in Ay, the native village of Pol Roger. The firm developed rapidly. From Ay it moved to Epernay in 1951. As early as 1855 Pol used to favour the production of Brut Champagne as he knew this was the type of Champagne the English preferred (good old English). By 1899 when its founder died the brand have acquired an enviable amount of recognition.

                    Veuve Clicquot

                    The remarkable Madame Clicquot (1777-1866) is often considered the first businesswoman of the modern era. Née Nicole-Barbe Ponsardin, she was widowed in 1805 at the age of 27.

                    Veuve Clicquot (Veuve means widow in French) defied every convention of the day to take the helm of her late husband's small Champagne house.
