INFO: The Champion family have been growing grapes in Chouilly since the 18th century and today the estate is run by Francois and two of his daughters.
Until recently most of their juice has been sold to the big houses but they intend to keep more for sale under their own label. All their champagnes have extremely low dosage and are fine, minerally and delicate.
Blend: 50% of juice from the current vintage and 50% of reserve wine from different terroirs (according to the grape variety). These champagnes age between 20 and 36 months (non-vintage).
Fine bubbles and notes of mature fruits such as quince and yellow stone fruits. Aromas of biscuits and honey The palate, which remains supple, is well structured with a beautiful length.
