Philosophy
Our approach to champagne making
A respect for nature
At Champagne Roland Champion, our philosophy is rooted in a profound respect for nature and the unique terroir of Chouilly. We believe that exceptional champagne begins in the vineyard, where the character of our wines is shaped by the chalk-rich soils of the Côte des Blancs.
Our approach combines traditional methods passed down through four generations with modern techniques that respect the environment. We practice sustainable viticulture, limiting interventions to what is strictly necessary and allowing the natural qualities of our grapes to express themselves fully.
Artisanal production
Each bottle of Champagne Roland Champion is the result of meticulous work and attention to detail. We favor quality over quantity, carefully monitoring each stage of production from the harvest to the final aging in our cellars.
Our champagnes are aged longer than required by the appellation, allowing them to develop complex aromas and a refined structure. This patience is essential to our philosophy and contributes to the distinctive character of our cuvées.
The art of blending
Blending is at the heart of our champagne making. It's both a science and an art that requires experience, intuition, and a deep understanding of our terroir. Each year, we carefully select the wines that will compose our cuvées, seeking the perfect balance between freshness, complexity, and elegance.
Our goal is not to create standardized champagnes, but rather to express the unique character of each vintage while maintaining the distinctive style of the house. This approach allows us to offer authentic champagnes that reflect both our terroir and our family's vision.
