Founded in 1760, LANSON is one of the oldest Champagne Maisons. Building on its family heritage and unique know-how, the Maison’s men and women have been guided by their love of a job well done and their attention to others for 260 years. The unique and authentic style of its Champagnes is built around four immutable pillars: its meticulous Crus selection; its vinification in line with the original principle of Champagne; its rare collection of reserve wines; and its extended maturation in cellars. The LANSON Cross, which graces each bottle, is its timeless symbol. Founded in 1760, LANSON is one of the oldest Champagne Maisons.

The LANSON Cross, which graces each bottle, is its timeless symbol. Maison LANSON builds its longterm development around creating value through high-quality wines in buoyant segments, particularly on international markets. To celebrate its 260th anniversary, the Maison is refreshing its range and labels, realigned around its founding values: attention and care, humility, authenticity, openness and its wines’ characteristic elegance. Based in Reims, the House of LANSON has built on a unique heritage and expertise since it was founded in 1760. Its history, founded on a love of a job well done, guides the House's 112 employees in a constant quest for excellence. Hervé Dantan, the House's cellar master, makes elegant wines characterised by inimitable freshness, fruitiness and vitality. The Lanson Cross is the symbol on each bottle. Lanson distributes its wines mainly internationally, which now accounts for 85% of shipments. In 2023, the House reinvented its brut multi-millésimé. The emblematic Black Label has been reinterpreted as "Le Black Création", a name that reveals the tailor-made work demanded by the exceptional character of each harvest. Each Creation is assigned a number corresponding to the number of blends made since the House was founded in 1760, placing expertise, transparency and authenticity at the heart of our approach. Each Creation is unique and sublime. In 2024, the rosé will become "Rosé Création 67", the 67th edition of this cuvée created in 1952. In addition to owning a sixteen-hectare biodynamically farmed vineyard, Domaine de la Malmaison, LANSON is pursuing its CSR commitment with strong actions in the environmental, societal and economic fields, reflected in a clear vision of "Des Terroirs, Des Hommes, Des Vins". This strong commitment has led Maison LANSON to join the "International Wineries for Climate Action (IWCA)" citizens' programme, the aim of which is to act collectively to decarbonise the global wine industry and thus combat climate change.

Founded in 1730, CHANOINE FRERES is the second oldest Champagne House. Ever since it was founded by Pierre Chanoine, the spirit of craftsmanship and brotherhood has been present in Champagne CHANOINE FRERES, now based in Reims on a site that is both modern and high-quality. Nearly 300 years on, the family attachment and sense of transmission remain intact and essential. Today, built around a unique range of 6 cuvées directly inspired by its original label, CHANOINE FRERES has embarked on a process of reconquest and aims to develop its sales equally between French supermarkets and historic export markets. TSARINE has become an iconic brand in less than 30 years thanks to the expertise of its parent company CHANOINE and its original bottle, a unique and protected model. At Champagne TSARINE we believe that elegance goes beyond mere appearance. It is a state of mind, a true art of living. With a shorter range due to be launched in mid-2024, TSARINE is repositioning itself on its domestic market and seeking new export outlets, with the guiding principle of being the Champagne for those who love elegance in all its forms.

Since it was founded in 1843, Maison BESSERAT DE BELLEFON, a true ambassador of the French Art de Vivre, has perpetuated a tradition of high quality, producing wines for the traditional sector of wine merchants and gourmet restaurants. The BESSERAT DE BELLEFON cuvées are the result of a unique and singular winemaking process that produces bubbles 30% finer than those of a traditional champagne. BESSERAT DE BELLEFON's art of vinification preserves the freshness and elegance of the fruit, a lively attack and a better expression of the aromas. In 2023, BESSERAT DE BELLEFON celebrated its 180th anniversary, surrounded by its partners from all over the world, who were able to taste a limited edition specially created for the occasion by cellar master Cédric Thiebault. To support its value strategy and strengthen the House's position with sommeliers and wine merchants, in 2024 the House will launch its new Prestige Cuvée "Cuvée des Moines Millésime 2012". In the summer of 2024, the House's new headquarters in Épernay will be unveiled. It will reflect the BB universe and be a judicious combination of past and future. It will enable the development of a new high-end wine tourism activity. Nathalie DOUCET

Located on the Avenue de Champagne in Épernay, in the heart of the historic Champagne region, Maison BOIZEL has been making wines renowned for their elegance, finesse and balance since 1834. Its development is rooted in a passion for Champagne and respect for the family values that have shaped its identity. In France, Maison BOIZEL distributes its wines directly to wine-lovers who have developed a loyal following thanks to innovative marketing and the attention paid to customer relations. Internationally, its cuvées are marketed to the traditional sector, in particular wine shops and restaurants. 2023 was an important milestone in the House's new dynamic. Its new identity and range were unveiled, reflecting the in-depth work carried out on the wines over the last few years and confirming the quality image of its Champagnes. The launch of the new version of its iconic Joyau cuvée was a success, thanks to new distribution partnerships that strengthen its position in the world of fine wines, notably via the Place de Bordeaux.

The PHILIPPONNAT family has been established in Aÿ since 1522, and since the Second Empire has devoted itself to producing Champagne wines of excellence. From the Brut Royale Réserve, the House's ambassador, to the extraordinary Cuvée du Clos des Goisses, Champagne PHILIPPONNAT offers a complete range of full-bodied, structured wines, with a clear focus on Michelin-starred restaurants and lovers of fine wines. In 2023, PHILIPPONNAT's cuvée Royale Réserve Brut received the accolade of best non-vintage champagne in a blind tasting of 22 champagnes from the Revue du Vin de France, one of a string of top awards from critics around the world. In addition to this French distinction, PHILIPPONNAT's Royale Réserve Brut also received the award from the Anglo-Saxon equivalent of the Revue du Vin de France, the famous magazine "Decanter", which ranked it first in its tasting of the ten best "Non Vintage" wines. In the United States, the no less important "Wine Spectator" gave the same cuvée an exceptional score of 93 points for a non-vintage champagne. These three accolades from three of the wine world's leading press titles do justice and honour to the success that stems from the House's philosophy: the ongoing and constantly renewed quest for excellence. The House is even prouder that these awards have been bestowed on the most complex cuvée to create, and the largest in terms of volume in a top-quality range. For 2024, the House's sales will still be constrained by the long maturation requirements of its stocks. But after these last 3 years of cellaring slightly larger volumes, a new dynamic can be set in motion in 2025. The famous Clos des Goisses, after the uprooting and replanting of the early 2000s, will also finally be able to offer moderately larger volumes. Charles PHILIPPONNAT |  |
As the custodian of a precious environmental heritage, Domaine ALEXANDRE BONNET is stepping up its efforts towards agro-ecology: progressive elimination of synthetic products, development of soil life and biodiversity, cultivation of ancient grape varieties, HVE High Environmental Value certification, etc. The estate is continuing to develop wines with a strong identity, with the launch of two vintage Blanc de Noirs parcel wines. The strengthening of its presence in Michelin-starred restaurants and its breakthrough in several key export markets illustrate the demanding work carried out by its team to enhance the value of its wines. The long-term development of the estate is accompanied by a programme of quality investment aimed at affirming its status as a top-of-the-range "Récoltant Manipulant". At the same time, the sister company Ferdinand Bonnet maintains close links with a number of local winegrowers, from whom it buys grapes, both for its own trading activity aimed at an international retail clientele, and to supply the other companies in the Group.

Its impressive production site - 14 km of cellars in the heart of Épernay - has recently been modernised and is IFS, BRC and Ecocert certified. These certifications are well suited to its customer base, which consists mainly of major European distributors. Thanks to its major long-term grape purchasing contracts with several hundred partner winegrowers, Maison BURTIN vinifies and ages a variety of Champagne cuvées with ambitious and precise quality control, rewarded once again last year by several awards in France and Europe, notably for the "Alfred Rothschild & Cie" range. The year 2023 was marked by the encouraging launch of the 'Hommage à Gaston Burtin' Champagne on the export market, and its launch in France with a new clientele of wine merchants and restaurateurs.
