Roland Champion – Grand Cru Special Club, 2018

A family history that began with André Champion in 1929, who developed considerably his vineyard on the Chouilly land in the Côte des Blancs, the preferred area for Chardonnay.

At the age of 16, Roland, the eldest son, took over the family business. In 1951, the estate was renamed “Champagne Roland Champion.” François, Roland’s son, joined the business in the early 1970s and became the estate’s oenologist. Today, he is joined by his daughters, Carole and Clémence, representing the 4th generation.

Initially established as négociants, the family transitioned to Growers by the 4th generation. For decades, the Champion family has proudly shared their passion for producing characterful, terroir-driven champagnes, reflecting the vision of their founders.

About Club Tresors de Champagne aka Special Club
