Champagne Christian Briard: heir to a savoir-faire for more than a century
Champagne Christian Briard
A family maison of the Marne Valley, founded by Maurice Romelot at the start of the 20th century. Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, plot-by-plot winemaking, sustainable viticulture. Cuvees Maurice Romelot, Ambre, Rubis, Ratafia and Coteaux Champenois.
Born in the heart of the Marne Valley, Maison Christian Briard draws its origins from the passion of a visionary man: Maurice Romelot, founder of the line. From the start of the 20th century, he planted his first Pinot vines, laying the foundations of a vineyard destined for excellence. Several generations later, this heritage lives on in every bottle.
A family maison of the Marne Valley, for more than a century
The story begins with Maurice Romelot, founder of the line, who planted his first Pinot vines at the very start of the 20th century. Today, several generations later, this heritage lives on in every bottle: champagnes that are the fruit of meticulous work, where each plot is vinified separately to reveal all the richness of the terroir.
For more than a hundred years, the Briard-Romelot family has cultivated the values of passion, rigour and authenticity. This commitment is reflected every day: respecting nature, showcasing the terroir and producing sincere, remarkable champagnes.
The maison's signature
The alliance of character, finesse and elegance: thanks to plot-by-plot winemaking and controlled ageing, each cuvee embodies the unique identity of the maison, structured champagnes that remain refined.
A vineyard of excellence in the heart of the Marne Valley
Planted on the most qualitative slopes of the Marne Valley, the vines benefit from a microclimate favourable to the ripening of Pinot Noir and Meunier. The exposure, the nature of the clay-limestone soils and rigorous work in the vineyard guarantee grapes of exceptional quality.
Each plot is followed with care, in a spirit of sustainable viticulture, to offer precise, balanced and expressive wines. It is this art of blending, passed down from generation to generation, that gives the maison's champagnes their character.
