Region: Côtes des Blancs

Description: For four generations, the Champion family have been proud to share their passion for Champagnes that offer character and prestige to accompany the most memorable moments of your life, just as its founders wished for.

This small family estate is located in the Grand Cru village of Chouilly, in the Côtes des Blancs. The vineyards have a south-south-east exposure giving the wines a mineral delicacy, and lifted floral aromas.

The Champion family have been grape growers since the 18th century, but sold their harvest to négociants. This was all to change in 1929 when André Champion decided to bottle under his own name and the brand ‘Champagne André Champion’ was born. At the tender age of 16, Roland took over the family business and continued to increase the family’s estate. The Champagne house was then renamed ‘Champagne Roland Champion’ in 1951. His son François is the third generation of the family and continues in his father’s footsteps as both oenologist and company manager.

Description: “I create champagnes for my clients, my family and myself… The kind of champagnes that I love, with strong characters, perfect harmony and an authentic taste… Champagnes that I hope will give you pleasure, make you smile and make you feel alive…” – Jean-Pierre Vazart

The Vazart-Coquart family has been involved in the wine business for centuries. They are still based today in the original family home in the main street of Chouilly built by Louis-Victor Coquart in 1865. In 1954, Louis Vazart and his son Jacques launched their Champagne brand. The dynamic Jean-Pierre Vazart, Jacques’ son, joined his father in 1995 and in 2005 became in charge of the estate. The Vazarts grow 95% Chardonnay and 5% Pinot Noir on their 11 hectares in Grand Cru Chouilly, the most northerly wine commune of the Côte des Blancs. Average vine age is an impressive 30 or more years.
