The Champagne Cellar

Our Story

We were introduced to the Champagnes of Cheurlin-Dangin during a short break in the Champagne region of France.

We made friends with a French family who invited us to dinner. Champagne was served as an aperitif, and it was quite simply the best Champagne we had ever tasted, and a name we had never heard of — Cheurlin-Dangin (see About the Cheurlin-Dangin Vineyards). Our hosts were happy to tell us how much it cost — less than half what we might have expected — and suggested that if we wanted to buy some ourselves we might like to visit the vineyard some 30 miles away; they gave us directions and a note of introduction.

The following day we paid Monsieur Cheurlin a visit and bought a couple of cases of his Brut Réserve to bring back home.

It tasted just as good and we, in turn, shared a glass or two with our friends, who all agreed that this was an exceptionally fine Champagne. Would we, on our next visit, bring back some for them as well?

Soon, we had a small clientele and realised that we had the basis of a business supplying this fine French Champagne without the ‘famous name’ premium.

Our personalised labels grew from the demands of local businesses, but the strength of our venture lies in the quality of the Champagne itself, testimony to this being the number of repeat orders we receive from our growing client base. We promise that you will not be disappointed!
