Imagine the opportunity to savor two identical Champagnes, with just one difference: one has aged in the winemaker's cellars, while the other... 60 meters deep in the Atlantic Ocean.

Against winds and tides presents this rare chance to compare the ocean's influence on Champagne aging with its twin that remained in our winemaker's cellars.

This set includes 2 bottles of the 2016 vintage Champagne André Chemin, accompanied by their wooden case.

A rare Champagne assortment, with only a few hundred bottles produced annually.

The perfect gift for Champagne enthusiasts seeking a unique experience.

A gift box crafted by our winemakers for a unique experience.

The set contains 2 seemingly similar bottles, both 2016 Premier Cru vintages.

The first matured for 7 years on lees before disgorgement, followed by an additional year and a half of refinement in the estate's cellars to impart its unique character. The second enjoyed the same duration of lees maturation in the cellar before being transported near the island of Ouessant, in Brittany. There, it was submerged 60 meters deep and placed on the seabed to age for over a year. Deprived of natural light and subjected to the constant temperature of the Stiff Bay, the Champagne developed a unique freshness. Only the aging environment changes, resulting in a considerable difference, giving the Sea bottle an unexpected freshness and minerality.

This 2016 vintage was crafted with a base of ⅓ Chardonnay and ⅔ Pinot Noir exclusively from the family's Premier Cru vines.

A limited edition of 294 sets, reserved for discerning enthusiasts seeking unique experiences!

This set includes 2 bottles of 75cl vintage 2016 along with their wooden case.

Champagne Andre Chemin

André Chemin has been a family House since its creation in 1948. It blends its champagnes in the heart of the Reims mountains.

Today, Sébastian and his wife Eva are at the head of a 6.5 hectare family estate on the Premier Cru hills of the Reims Mountain. Little has changed in 70 years in this family champagne House, which has managed to preserve its love of the vine.
