Maison Gruet: four centuries of excellence in the heart of the Côte des Bar
Maison Gruet - Champagne of the Côte des Bar, in Buxeuil (Aube) since 1670
Maison Gruet is a family champagne of the Côte des Bar, rooted in Buxeuil since 1670, between Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Meunier and the rare Arbane.
Based in Buxeuil since 1670, Maison Gruet embodies one of the oldest family traditions of the Côte des Bar. A clay-limestone terroir close to Chablis, chiselled cuvees and the rare Arbane grape: precise, luminous and authentic champagnes, to discover direct on Avenue des Vins.
Based in Buxeuil since 1670, Maison Gruet embodies one of the oldest family traditions of the Côte des Bar. Here, the vine is passed down like a precious inheritance: with respect, patience and passion. The “Bas-Gruet” and “Sur-Gruet” place-names recall the family's deep roots, witness to a know-how shaped over the generations.
In 1975, Claude Gruet released his first cuvees and opened a new era for the house. Today, alongside his son Pierre-Charles, he carries on the estate's identity, crafting sincere, precise champagnes faithful to their terroir.

The Côte des Bar: a powerful, luminous terroir
Set between Bar-sur-Aube and Bar-sur-Seine, the Côte des Bar offers an exceptional environment: clay-limestone soils close to those of Chablis, exposed slopes and a cool yet sunny climate. An ideal setting to reveal the depth of Pinot Noir, the elegance of Chardonnay and the appeal of Meunier.
Maison Gruet tends its vines with meticulous care: reasoned practices, plot-by-plot vinifications, a rigorous selection of the first press. Every gesture aims to preserve the aromatic purity and mineral tension characteristic of the house.
A know-how that weds tradition and modernity
Gentle pressing, patient ageing, carefully selected reserve wines, a controlled second fermentation: ancestral methods remain at the heart of the making. The estate also relies on modern tools to refine the precision of the blends and magnify the typicity of each grape.
The result: chiselled, luminous champagnes, balanced between freshness, depth and elegance.
The flagship cuvees of Champagne Gruet
Cuvée des Trois Blancs, Arbane. A rare champagne made from three white grapes including Arbane, one of the most confidential in Champagne: luminous, floral, with remarkable tension.
Sélection Brut. In bottle and half-bottle, the Gruet signature: delicate fruit, fine bubble, a perfect balance between amplitude and freshness.
Rosé de Saignée. A lively, structured rosé, from a natural maceration of Pinot Noir: intense red-fruit notes, suave texture.
As vintages and availability change, the selection shown on Avenue des Vins may vary; here are the house's flagship cuvees.

Who runs Champagne Gruet today?
In 1975, Claude Gruet released his first cuvees and opened a new era for the house. Today, alongside his son Pierre-Charles, he carries on the estate's identity with sincere, precise champagnes faithful to their terroir.
What is the Côte des Bar?
The Côte des Bar is the southernmost vineyard of Champagne, between Bar-sur-Aube and Bar-sur-Seine. Its clay-limestone soils, close to those of Chablis, its exposed slopes and its cool yet sunny climate make it an ideal land for Pinot Noir.
Which grapes does Maison Gruet work with?
The house works the three great Champagne grapes: Pinot Noir for its depth, Chardonnay for its elegance and Meunier for its appeal. It also grows Arbane, one of the rarest and most confidential grapes of Champagne.
What is the Arbane grape?
Arbane is one of the rarest, most confidential white grapes of Champagne. Maison Gruet uses it in its Cuvée des Trois Blancs, a luminous, floral champagne with remarkable tension, the quintessence of the Côte des Bar.
How are Gruet champagnes made?
The house combines ancestral methods and modern tools: gentle pressing, selection of the first press, plot-by-plot vinifications, carefully selected reserve wines, patient ageing and a controlled second fermentation, for chiselled, balanced champagnes.
What are the flagship Champagne Gruet cuvees?
Three cuvees embody the house style: the Cuvée des Trois Blancs with Arbane (rare and floral), the Sélection Brut (the signature, in bottle and half-bottle) and the Rosé de Saignée (lively and structured, on Pinot Noir).
What is a Rosé de Saignée?
A Rosé de Saignée is a rosé champagne obtained by a short, natural maceration of Pinot Noir skins, rather than by blending. At Gruet, it offers intense red-fruit notes and a suave texture, with character and structure.
Does Maison Gruet farm its vines sustainably?
Yes. The house tends its vines with meticulous care: reasoned practices, plot-by-plot vinifications and a rigorous selection of the first press, to preserve the aromatic purity and mineral tension characteristic of the estate.
Which dishes pair with a Gruet champagne?
The Cuvée des Trois Blancs and the Sélection Brut elevate seafood, fish and the aperitif; the Rosé de Saignée pairs with fine charcuterie, poultry and red-fruit desserts. The Pinot Noir champagnes also suit more gourmand dishes.
How should you serve and store Gruet champagne?
Serve it at 8 to 10°C, in a wide glass rather than a narrow flute, to release the aromas. Store the bottles lying down, away from light and temperature swings, in a cool place.
Where can you buy Champagne Gruet directly?
