About the Grower

The C17 Magnum was first created in 2017 by the intrepid Grands Cru d’Exception organization in Champagne. They wanted to create a cuvee consisting of all 17 Grands Crus of Champagne in a very limited magnum format. What makes it even more unique is that the idea came from 15 vignerons providing fruit from their own production.

The group of Grand Cru growers chose one day of the harvest to each bring 600kg of grapes to the home and winery of Julien and Sarah Launois where the grapes are pressed together in a traditional Coquard horizontal press. The base wine of co-fermented Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from all the greatest villages in the region is aged then bottled into magnums for secondary fermentation and aging. This format was a natural choice as it helps the wine age and the aromas to come into their own. After 6 years of aging the wine is disgorged by hand and the limited production is carefully allocated to a handful of customers around the world.
