House style defined by the winegrower

Champagne Bouquet is an ‘independent winegrower’ (Vignéron Indépendant) who rigorously watches over the quality of the grapes and the wines.
In the champagnes you'll find the reflection of the wonderful terroir of the Marne Valley: fruity, exuberant and intense.

The assets of the house

The Bouquet family welcomes you 7 days a week (indeed, even on Sundays) in a beautiful tasting area or, when the weather is fine, on the terrace that offers a magnificent panoramic view of the Marne Valley.
From 2 bottles onwards, you can have your bottles personalized!!
