About the Wine

In 1811, the young Charles Gabriel De Cazanove, an ambitious 24-year-old from a long line of master glassmakers, founded his own Champagne House in Avize, in the heart of the Côte des Blancs. Over 2 centuries later, Champagne Charles de Cazanove is synonymous with family, dedication, and unique expertise carefully handed down through generations.

Today, Champagne Charles de Cazanove enjoys the use of efficient oenological and technological facilities and produces over 3 million bottles a year. Vinification mostly takes place in stainless steel vats, but where necessary, some wines spend time in oak to acquire that wonderful fullness that oak barrels provide. The wines take time to age in the traditional Champagne chalk cellar.

The Champagne Charles de Cazanove Difference:

Maison Charles de Cazanove is the 6th largest producer in Champagne and the last family-owned and operated house in Champagne.

Maison Charles de Cazanove is the 2nd largest proprietor of vineyards in Champagne after Roederer. This allows Charles de Cazanove to control its production and the consistency and quality of its wines (where most houses are only négociants).

Charles de Cazanove’s head winemaker is a member of the family and has directed the Maison’s winemaking for the past 30 years—developing a unique style.

The Charles de Cazanove range includes many unique estates, each with their own unique identity and the family’s reputation of quality.

Authentic wines from a noble terroir, made according to ancestral traditions yet open to the best advancements that progress can provide, Charles De Cazanove Champagnes delight Champagne lovers throughout the world with an inimitable style, making special occasions even more memorable.

Reviews

An expressive rosé, offering a pleasing juiciness to the spiced notes of ripe cherry, black currant, pastry, ground clove, and blanched almond. This is finely textured, with a minerally base note and a lingering finish. Drink now through 2018. 10,000 cases made.  ~92WS
