The Champagne Guild is a specialist company importing previously unavailable champagnes into the UK. With more than twenty years experience they have sourced the finest wines from the heart of the Champagne region. These wines offer great variety and are made with intensity of flavour, incredible depth of character and most of all with passion. Crafted by traditional producers who have been making Champagne for generations, the true story of this wonderful wine has been kept alive through the development of their highly individual house characters. Through its unique relationships exclusively with small producers, the Champagne Guild offers the best-kept secrets of the region. Never before has Champagne been enjoyed more widely across the globe than it is today, so whatever the occasion and whatever your taste, from a blanc de blancs to a pinot noir, from bone dry to demi-sec, the Champagne Guild provides unparalleled choice.

WHY THE SMALL PRODUCER?

Around the world, most people are familiar with the big Champagne houses but very little is known about Champagne as a region and the incredible variety that is available through the truly local producers. Hidden within a relatively small growing area, the villages of the Champagne region house some 3,500 'petits vignerons', who for hundreds of years have been producing the Champagnes 'du terroir' in small quantities. As a consequence of their small-scale operations, most of their wines have only been available locally in France. Unlike most principal houses, the producers selected by The Champagne Guild live and work with their own vines all year round and are intimately involved in every stage of their cultivation, harvest and processing. It is through such producers therefore that the rich and fascinating diversity of the Champagne region reaches its fullest expression.
