Founded during the reign of Louis XV, CHANOINE FRÈRES was the first Maison to be authorized by the town of Épernay to dig a cellar in Champagne. The second oldest Champagne Maison, CHANOINE FRÈRES, now established in Reims, successfully blends modernity and tradition with its high-performance production facilities. CHANOINE FRÈRES is continuing to develop thanks to growing recognition for the quality of its wines and its stronger listings across all distribution channels, and no longer just in mass retail markets. Export debuts are a future growth driver. In the “on premise” sector, the TSARINE Orium extra brut cuvee has received a highly promising response, alongside the brand new TSARINE Blanc de Blancs cuvee, which is a true eco-innovation.
