Champagne Louis Roederer

Region: Montagne de Reims

Description: When he inherited the Champagne House in 1833, the aesthete and entrepreneur Louis Roederer took a visionary approach to enriching his vines, aiming to master every stage of the wine’s creation. He forged the wine’s unique style, character, and taste. In the mid-nineteenth century, Louis Roederer acquired some of Champagne’s grand cru vineyards—an approach that contrasted sharply with contemporary practices.
While other Houses bought their grapes, Louis Roederer nurtured his vineyards, familiarized himself with the specific characteristics of each parcel, and methodically acquired the finest land. Louis Roederer’s guiding principle was that all great wine depends on the quality of the soil, a passion for tradition, and an astute vision of the future; the fame and reputation of the House of Louis Roederer was firmly established. His heir, Louis Roederer II was equally enlightened and adopted his father’s conscientious approach to the production of champagne, patrimonial estate management, and instinctive audacity.

Champagne Achille Princier

Region: Montagne de Reims

Description: Champagne makers at Achille Princier since 1901, the Mansard family has always had strong values to uphold their reputation, including respect for tradition, family independance and generosity. In this family wine is an art form, from the palnting of the vignes to the commercialistion of Champagne. The making of wine grown from their own plantings is a major strenghth of this "grower champagne".
In 1901 Bennoni Mansard began to make his first bottles of Champagne. In 1926 one of his 4 sons Gaston Mansard took over. 10 years after the second world war his son Michel succeded him with the objective to make high quality Champagne. With the growth in Champagne production he took the decision to enlarge the cellars and the winery and buy more parcels of land in the heart of Epernay.
Today his son Maxime Mansard has taken the decision to launch a premium Champagne- Achille Princier- making a small volume production. It is made from very old vines planted by his ancestors. He selects grapes , for this brand, from parcels first planted in 1930 and perpetuates the traditions of family production. He hopes that you will share his values of quality and authenticity, and his dream.

Champagne Canard-Duchene

Region: Montagne de reims

Description: Canard-Duchêne is unique in its origins, history and style. The Champagne house has been located in Ludes, in the Montagne de Reims National Park, since 1868. Its founders, Victor Canard and Léonie Duchêne, both well-known characters in Champagne, were granted the right by the Russian Imperial Family to adopt its coat of arms as the family emblem. The crowned two-headed eagle has thus appeared on every Canard-Duchêne label since the end of the 19th century. These authentic, original Champagnes combine fruit, intensity and complexity.

Champagne Krug

Region: Montagne de reims

Description: Krug has remained a Champagne House on a human scale, preserving its savoir-faire and defending its unparalleled quality by choosing to offer a limited number of bottles. By overturning conventions and establishing its own rules, Krug divulges all the exuberance and expression of its Champagnes. Making Krug Champagne arises from a long, painstaking and very human process; an art.

Depending on the talents and intuitions of a precious few, Krug’s obsessive approach to details is the key characteristic of its savoir-faire which is based on three principles: - the individual selection of the plots and the careful following of each wine, - the art of blending and the creation of Champagnes by Krug’s Chef de Caves Eric Lebel and the Tasting Committee, and - the essential mastering of time, stretched to an unfashionably slow pace.

Champagne Pol Roger

Region: Montagne de reims

Description: In its 160 years of history, Pol Roger has carved out one of the most flattering reputations in the select circle of the leading Champagne brands. For five generations, the descendants have been equally demanding, remaining loyal to the strategy initiated from the very beginning by the firm’s founder. Pol Roger is the gentlemen’s Champagne, as Jean-Paul Kauffman wrote in “Voyage en Champagne”. It is not surprising, therefore, that Winston Churchill and even the British Royal Family should have made it their favourite over the years. The purity and nobility of Pol Roger Champagne is also the fruit of the know-how, passed down from generation to generation. From the harvest in the region’s best vineyards, to the painstaking work in the cellar, each gesture has its importance.
