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.
