Champagne Gremillet: family boldness and the excellence of the Côte des Bar
Champagne Gremillet - Family house of the Côte des Bar (Balnot-sur-Laignes, Aube)
Champagne Gremillet is a family house of the Côte des Bar, farming 48 hectares dominated by Pinot Noir, certified HVE level 3 and Sustainable Viticulture in Champagne.
Founded in 1979 by Jean-Michel Gremillet, the house farms 48 hectares on the limestone slopes of the Côte des Bar. Dominant Pinot Noir, precise craftsmanship and a strong environmental commitment: expressive, sustainable champagnes, to discover direct on Avenue des Vins.
The Champagne Gremillet story begins in 1979, when Jean-Michel Gremillet decided to create a champagne in his own image: ambitious, authentic and open to the world. From its early days, the house made its mark on the international stage; today, more than 50 embassies and consulates around the world celebrate their successes with a Gremillet champagne.
This success story turned into a family saga: Jean-Christophe, Anne, Karine and Stéphane together pursue the founding mission, to share the French art of living through exceptional champagnes.

Boldness and movement as DNA
“Al andar se hace camino”, the path is made by walking.
This maxim perfectly captures the Gremillet philosophy: always move forward, keep innovating. The rising motif on the capsules, the house's visual signature, symbolises this optimistic drive and creative energy that sets it apart.
An exceptional terroir in the Côte des Bar
Based in Balnot-sur-Laignes, in the south of Champagne, the Gremillet house farms 48 hectares on the limestone slopes of the Côte des Bar. Pinot Noir (85%) expresses all its power and fruit, while Chardonnay, from renowned terroirs such as Montgueux and Cramant, brings freshness and elegance.
This pairing signs the Gremillet style: balance, finesse and aromatic intensity, the mark of a southern terroir, the southernmost of the Champagne vineyard.
Precise, authentic craftsmanship
From harvest to glass, every step counts. Only the first press, the “cuvee,” is kept to guarantee purity and tension. Slow fermentations, meticulous blending and extended cellar ageing yield expressive, harmonious and consistent champagnes.
Each vintage reflects the respect for terroir and the quest for excellence that drive the house.
Strong commitments for a sustainable future
Certified HVE level 3 and Sustainable Viticulture in Champagne, the house acts concretely to protect its environment:
Zero herbicide. Natural grassing of the vines for living soils.
Biodiversity. Beehives and hedges planted; 600 truffle-oak trees to enrich the soils.
Solar energy. Over 1,200 m² of solar panels.
Circular economy. Natural corks, lighter packaging, valorisation of the marc.
Here, excellence cannot be conceived without ecological responsibility.
Cuvees that mirror your successes
Each Gremillet champagne celebrates life's great moments: achievements, challenges met, times of sharing. From the freshness of the Brut Rosé to the precision of the Blanc de Blancs, by way of the nobility of the Millésimé 2017 or the purity of the Zéro Dosage, every cuvee expresses French joy and elegance.
