OUR STATEMENT
We would like to help you discover the true diversity of Champagne
Champagne et Villages is only working with family-owned Domains who are close to their vines. They know that good wines can only come from good grapes, they are traditional vigneron who grow their own vines naturally, with as little treatments as possible, harvesting with their own team with vinification and bottling taking place at the domain.
Champagne et Villages is keen on finding the top quality in their production :
– vinification by parcels or patches
– old vines production
– ageing at least 3 years in cellars
– old vintages
– vinification in barrels
– classic Champagne always at its best maturation
– malo lactic fermentation or not.
We would be delighted to give you a more thorough explanation about the philosophy of our selection and to go into finer details.
OUR SELECTION
The ancestral knowledge passed down to these producers has enabled us to uncover Champagne wines that are: Light and spirited, ample and complex, delicate, harmonious, structured, elegant and balanced.
The Champagne et Villages identification strip and the back label on each bottle testify to the rigorous and qualitative selection process.
OUR QUALITY
All Champagnes are elaborated and bottled at the producer’s cellars. The wines are aged in cellars for a minimum of three years prior to disgorging. Vinification is monitored by an authorized laboratory.
Domains are basically practicing culture raisonnée, HVE (High Environmental value), VDC (Viticulture Durable Champagne) some are BIO or on the way to be certified.
QUANTITY
Champagne et Villages selections are strictly limited in quantity We do not offer any “cuvee” that does not meet our highest standards
