Grower Champagne from Independent French Estates
If you've been searching for Champagne that goes beyond the supermarket shelf, you've found it.
Three French Vines is New Zealand's home for authentic grower Champagne—small-production, family-made wines from independent estates in Champagne, France, imported exclusively and delivered directly to your door anywhere in New Zealand.
Every bottle in our range comes from a producer who grows their own grapes, crafts their own wine in their own cellar, and puts their family name on every label. This is fundamentally different from the Champagnes you see most often in New Zealand retailers. The big brands—Moët & Chandon, Veuve Clicquot, Mumm, Piper-Heidsieck—are produced at massive scale by large corporate houses that purchase fruit from hundreds of different growers and blend it into a product designed for consistency. The result is reliable, recognisable, and ubiquitous. But it is not the best Champagne France has to offer.
Grower Champagne is. And New Zealand is one of the best places in the world to discover it—precisely because it's still not common here.
Our Champagne Range
We represent six exceptional Champagne houses, each selected for the quality of their vineyards, the integrity of their farming, and the character of their wines. Together they span the four major subregions of Champagne and offer a remarkable range of styles—from mineral and precise to generous and full-bodied, from elegant Non-Vintage Brut to rare single-barrel Grand Cru.
Champagne Jean Josselin — Pinot Noir-dominant grower Champagne from Gyé-sur-Seine in the Côte des Bar. Jean-Félix Josselin tends 14 parcels of vine with a commitment to sustainable farming and Terra Vitis certification. Characterful, precise, and food-friendly.
Champagne Achille Princier — A fifth-generation family house based in Épernay, with 24 hectares, 66 parcels across 10 villages, and historic cellars dating from the 17th century. Maxime Mansard produces only from first-press musts—a commitment to quality that defines every cuvée.
Champagne Paul Launois — One of the most exciting young grower houses in Champagne. Julien and Sarah Launois farm 6.5 hectares of Grand Cru Chardonnay in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger—the most prized village in Champagne—and produce extraordinary single-barrel cuvées in tiny quantities. All bottles are hand-riddled and disgorged à la Volée.
Champagne Cristian Senez — A self-made estate in Fontette, Côte des Bar, founded by Cristian and Josette Senez in 1974 and now run by their daughter Angélique and her husband Frédéric. Over 25 hectares of sustainably farmed Pinot Noir in Kimmeridgian limestone soils. Generous, rounded, approachable.
Champagne Monmarthe — One of the oldest family estates in Champagne, with roots in the Premier Cru village of Ludes, Montagne de Reims, stretching back to 1737. Now in its sixth and seventh generation, Monmarthe holds the Certificate of High Environmental Value and produces full, vinous Champagnes that are exceptional at the table.
Champagne Marion-Bosser — A rare mother-daughter winemaking team in Hautvillers — the birthplace of Champagne and the village where Dom Pérignon is buried. Elodie Bosser farms just 4 hectares with total precision and HVE certification, producing some of the most elegant and terroir-focused Champagnes in our range.
Styles Available
Our range covers every major style of Champagne:
- Non-Vintage Brut — the classic, approachable style. Consistent, celebratory, and crowd-pleasing. All four of our NV Brut cuvées are outstanding entry points into grower Champagne.
- Extra-Brut — drier than standard Brut, with minimal dosage. Lets the fruit and terroir express themselves without interference. Ideal for lovers of dry wine.
- Blanc de Blancs — Champagne made exclusively from Chardonnay. Delicate, mineral, and precise. Paul Launois and Marion-Bosser both produce exceptional Blanc de Blancs.
- Rosé — among the most elegant pink Champagnes available in New Zealand. Marion-Bosser Premier Cru Rosé is a standout.
- Vintage (Millésime) — Champagne from a single exceptional harvest year. More complex and age-worthy than NV cuvées. Currently available from Paul Launois and Monmarthe.
- Single Barrel — micro-cuvées produced from a single barrel. Extremely limited, highly individual. Paul Launois is one of very few houses in Champagne to produce Champagne at this scale.
- Magnum (1500ml) — for events, gifts, and moments that deserve a statement. Our C17 Grand Cru Millésime Magnum is the finest bottle in our range.
Why Buy from Three French Vines?
We import directly from the producers, which means no middleman markup. The Champagnes we sell are priced honestly—you're paying for the wine, not the advertising campaign. And because we sell directly to you, we can offer case pricing that makes stocking your cellar or planning an event genuinely cost-efficient.
We're based in New Zealand, we know our products intimately, and we're always happy to help you find the right bottle. Whether you're buying for a special occasion, a gift, a wedding, or simply because Tuesday deserves Champagne—we're here to help.
Delivery Across New Zealand
All orders are dispatched fast through our third-party logistics partner. North Island delivery typically takes 1 business day. South Island delivery takes approximately 2 business days. All bottles are carefully packaged to arrive in perfect condition.
The big Champagne brands (called négociants) buy grapes from hundreds of different growers across Champagne and blend them at scale to produce millions of consistent bottles per year. Grower Champagnes come from producers who grow their own grapes and make their own wine—from vine to bottle. The result is more personal, more expressive of a specific place and family, and often significantly better quality for the price. All six Champagne houses we represent are genuine grower producers.
Yes. Every bottle we sell is produced in the Champagne appellation in northeastern France—the only region in the world legally permitted to call its wine "Champagne." Our producers are based in the Côte des Bar, Côte des Blancs, Montagne de Reims, and Vallée de la Marne—the four major growing subregions of the appellation.
Three French Vines is the easiest and most complete option. We are the exclusive New Zealand importer of all six Champagne houses in our range. Order online and we'll deliver fast to your door anywhere in New Zealand.
We'd suggest starting with the Achille Princier Grande Réserve Brut NV or the Monmarthe Secret de Famille Premier Cru Brut NV—both are generous, balanced, and immediately impressive without being intimidating. If you already enjoy dry white wines, the Jean Josselin Cuvée des Jean Extra-Brut NV is a brilliant step up.
Any bottle in our range comes in our exclusive art gift box and makes an exceptional gift. For a universally impressive choice, the Achille Princier Grande Réserve ($78) or Monmarthe Secret de Famille ($80) are outstanding. For a truly special occasion, the Paul Launois Single Barrel Grand Cru ($360) is extraordinary and unique.
Blanc de Blancs is Champagne made exclusively from white grapes—most commonly Chardonnay. It's typically lighter, more mineral, and more age-worthy than Champagnes that include red grape varieties. Paul Launois and Marion-Bosser both produce outstanding Blanc de Blancs from their respective Grand Cru and Premier Cru vineyards.
Grand Cru is the highest classification in Champagne, awarded to just 17 villages out of more than 300 in the appellation. Paul Launois farms exclusively in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, one of the most prestigious Grand Cru villages in Champagne. Grand Cru Champagne typically commands a significant premium. Our Paul Launois range represents exceptional value for the terroir.
Premier Cru is the second-highest classification in Champagne, awarded to around 42 villages. Monmarthe is based in Ludes (Premier Cru), and Marion-Bosser is based in Hautvillers (Premier Cru). Both offer outstanding quality relative to price.
Store Champagne horizontally in a cool, dark place, ideally around 10–12°C. Avoid temperature fluctuations and direct sunlight. Champagne stored correctly will keep for several years, and vintage or single-barrel cuvées can age and improve over a decade or more.
Serve well-chilled at 8–10°C. A standard white wine glass works well—it allows the aromas to develop better than a narrow flute. Open by removing the foil and cage, holding the cork firmly, and gently twisting the bottle (not the cork) until the cork releases with a soft sigh, or a loud pop!
Yes, and we recommend it. Buying by the case (6 bottles) is significantly more cost-efficient due to how our logistics work. Case pricing is available on all our core cuvées. Visit our Bulk Orders page for event and volume pricing.
Yes. We supply Champagne for weddings, gala dinners, corporate events, and private celebrations across New Zealand. Volume pricing is available for larger orders. Visit our Bulk Orders & Events page or Corporate Gifting page for more information.
Not necessarily more than still wine. The carbonation in Champagne can speed up alcohol absorption slightly; meaning you feel the effects sooner; but the alcohol content is similar to or less than most white wines (typically 12–12.5%). Staying hydrated and not drinking on an empty stomach are the best preventative measures. Quality grower Champagne, made without excessive additives or sugar, is often kinder than cheaper or mass produced alternatives.
