Champagne Growers
Information
Welcome to the home of great champagnes at great prices.
Four of our champagne growers are on the wine list of Noma, the best restaurant in the world.
The champagnes of Larmandier-Bernier, Guy Charlemagne, Agrapart and Diebolt-Vallois are on the small but fine wine list of Noma, voted best restaurant in the world 2010 and 2011 before El Bulli.
This recent achievement reinforces our confidence in our choices and demonstrates the exceptional quality of our champagne selection.
We sell grower champagne
Almost half of all champagnes consumed in France are grower champagnes. In the UK they represent less than 2% of all champagne sales. Small champagne growers don’t spend zillions on glossy commercials or rock star marketing and they do not benefit from mass distribution. Luckily, the internet is changing this, so, when you buy grower champagne here, you only pay for the wine inside the bottle. Read more about grower champagne
Our TOP 5 according to Robert Parker
Top quality & value
We have selected 20 champagne growers whose champagne quality is recognised by the international wine press. They easily rival some expensive bling-brands. One of our growers, Larmandier Bernier (96 Parker), was on the cover of the December 2009 issue of Wine & Spirits magazine; the other bottle was a Roederer Cristal.
Independent information from the specialists
Most of our champagnes are rated 90+ by the most respected wine writers including Parker, Jancis Robinson, Tanzer, Decanter, Bettane & Desseauve and Peter Liem. Currently, our highest rating is 96/100 by Robert Parker for this £40 bottle. To compare, 96 scores are usually for Salons, Cristals and some rare Krugs of this world. We have added all the available ratings for each wine as we want you to be as fully informed as possible with access to unbiased information. We have nothing to hide and you have everything to win by this no-nonsense approach.
We help you choose

Champagne should be stored on its side in a cool, dark, damp place, ideally 10-12 °C, with little fluctuation in temperature. Our logistical facility is in the Champagne-Ardenne region in France, so your bottle is stored in the grower's cellar waiting for your mouse click and not on store shelves waiting for Christmas.

We sell champagne, not wine. No need to buy 12 bottles to avoid shipping costs. Buy just 3 bottles (75 cl) and we ship to your doorstep for free.
Free quality gifts ! |
We buy directly from champagne growers in France, so no margins are added by importers or wholesalers, there are no store rents, marketing expenses are kept to a minimum and this is our company car :-)
Santé ! Michael, Jean-Noel, Stephanie and Kris.
