Champagne Gardet

Champagne Gardet

A Champagne House founded in 1895 by Charles Gardet, settled in Chigny-les-Roses (Premier Cru), in the heart of the Montagne de Reims. Now owned by the Prieux family, certified HVE and committed through the EnVol label. Refined champagnes - Brut Tradition, Blanc de Noirs, Prestige Charles Gardet, Brut Bio - to discover direct.

Founded in 1895 by Charles Gardet in Epernay, the Gardet Champagne House was built on strong values: authenticity, high standards and passion. In the 1930s, his son Georges settled in Chigny-les-Roses, a village classified Premier Cru, and continued the family heritage. Today, the House belongs to the Prieux family, deeply rooted in the Champagne land and faithful to this quest for quality.

A House committed to the environment

Champagne Gardet has made sustainable viticulture a priority. The House is certified HVE (High Environmental Value), develops cuvees from organic farming (such as the Brut Bio) and is committed to continuously reducing its ecological footprint with the EnVol label. Recyclable cases and attention to biodiversity illustrate this desire to preserve the Champagne terroir.

Brut Tradition & Brut Réserve

Tradition Collection

The essence of the Gardet style, between balance and timeless elegance. The Brut Tradition (also in half-bottle) embodies the House signature; the Brut Reserve, from longer ageing, gains depth and complexity. Two champagnes faithful to the spirit of the Montagne de Reims.

Brut Blanc de Noirs Premier Cru & Brut Rosé

Pinot Noir & Meunier

The Brut Blanc de Noirs Premier Cru, from black grapes (Pinot Noir and Meunier), offers structure, fruit and vinosity; the Brut Rose charms with its delicate character and freshness. Two expressions of the Chigny-les-Roses terroir, a village classified Premier Cru.

Zéro Dosage, Selected Reserve & Le Millésime 2016

Extra Brut Collection

Vibrant champagnes revealing freshness and purity. The Zero Dosage, with no added liqueur, expresses the terroir unadorned; Selected Reserve plays on precision; and Le Millesime 2016 Extra Brut signs a chiselled, refined champagne for keeping.

Prestige Charles Gardet & Rosé de Saignée

Prestige Collection

Rare, refined cuvees from long ageing. The Prestige Charles Gardet (2006 and 2008 vintages) pays tribute to the founder; the Rose de Saignee Charles Gardet, velvety and delicate, is inspired by the rose, the emblem of Chigny-les-Roses.

Brut Bio & Demi-Sec

Organic cuvee & sweetness

The Brut Bio, from organic farming, illustrates the House's environmental commitment; the Demi-Sec, more generous and dosed, accompanies desserts and sweet moments. Two ways to discover the palette of Champagne Gardet.
