Direct champagne producer

The Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée (A.O.C.) Champagne was created in 1927. It covers 34,000 hectares of vineyards in five départements: Marne, Aube, Aisne, Haute Marne and Seine-et-Marne. Champagne is known around the world and immediately evokes quality and luxury. However, champagnes are produced and distributed differently, which has a major influence on price.

The difference between champagne produced by a champagne house or a winemaker

A Champagne House doesn't grow its own grapes, but buys them from winemakers. It then handles vinification and packaging. Popular brands come from champagne houses, especially when they produce large quantities. They skilfully blend different grape varieties to create cuvées that they distribute on a large scale.

Winemakers grow, harvest and vinify their own grapes. They handle production from start to finish. The distribution of their champagne is much more confidential, and their brands are less known. You won't find these bottles in local shops, but only at a few wine stores and online.

There are 16,000 winegmakers and 320 champagne houses.

From the producer to the consumer

The quality of a winemaker's champagne is just as good as champagne from the Houses, while remaining much less expensive for two reasons: no advertising and direct sales from the producer to the distributor.

Champagne without advertising...

Winemakers' champagnes are sold in much smaller quantities than those made by champagne houses. Their brands are often unknown, because their distribution network is much more confidential.

Winemakers don't have the budget to create advertising campaigns, whether billboards or filmed ads. These are costly processes, especially when celebrities agrees to "lend" their image. Using promotional campaigns and organizing events also require huge budgets that only champagne houses can afford.

... and without intermediaries

Unlike Champagne Houses, the sale of winemakers' champagne takes place mainly at the estate, at a few local wine stores or online. The bottles go directly from the producer to the consumer, avoiding transportation costs between the winemaker, the wholesaler, the retailer and the consumer, as well as storage costs.

Furthermore, the bottles are not subject to the hazards of transportion: temperature variations can sometimes be brutal and the liquid is shaken as it travels many miles...
