Three French Vines

The Josselin family have been winegrowers for generations, acquiring their first vineyard in 1854 on the land abutting Gyé sur Seine, a champagne village crossed by the Seine river.

Starting with some parcels inherited from his parents, Jean Josselin labored hard and built his vineyards among the best hillsides of the region, replete with evocative names: Beauregard, Davasgné, Cosvigne.

In 1957, the great champagne adventure began, when he created his own brand: Champagne Jean Josselin.

Champagne Marion-Bosser is the mother-daughter team of Bernadette and Elodie Marion. They perpetuate a family tradition, crafting champagnes that are the very essence of subtlety, refinement and elegance. This all woman team produce award winning champagne, taking out the Chairman’s Trophy of “The Ultimate Wine Challenge” in New York in 2015 with their Extra Brut. The Extra Brut is also served to first class on British Airways.

This Champagne House is in the traditional champagne village of Hautvillers, which is exclusively planted Premier Cru and is located on the right bank of the Great Valley on the Marne. Hautvillers Abbey is made famous as the home of the Benedictine monk, Dom Pérignon (1658 to 1715).

The Mansard Family established their Champagne House in 1901 and they have now been creating champagne for 5 generations.  Based just outside of Épernay, this is a family steeped in champagne history.  Their land traverses 7 parcels of exceptional land across the Vallée de la Marne.

Achille Princier relies on a unique style. It uses only the musts from the first press, called "cuvée", in order to bring finesse to the Champagnes. This method also makes it possible to maintain the high quality of its reserve wines. The cuvées age at a natural and constant temperature in traditional cellars.
