The winemaker
The history of Tsarine Champagne
It was in 1730 that the Chanoine brothers dug the first cellars in Epernay. In the heart of the Age of Enlightenment, they obtained the necessary royal authorisation to market champagne not in barrels, but in bottles. The two brothers did not waste a minute in setting out on the road to all the courts of Europe to benefit from the new craze for champagne.
The making of Champagne Tsarine: an ancestral know-how preserved for an exceptional beverage
The harvest, which takes place from the end of August to the beginning of October, is carried out exclusively by hand in order to preserve the quality of the three grape varieties of Champagne Tsarine: Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Meunier.
As soon as they arrive at the press, and after pressing and settling, the grape juice ferments in vats at a constant temperature of 18°C. It takes a fortnight for the sugars in the must to be transformed into alcohol and carbon dioxide. It is at the end of fermentation that the aromatic notes specific to Tsarine Champagne are created. The wine becomes fruity, with brioche and butter flavours.
The blend shapes the signature of a champagne house. For Champagne Tsarine, it is made up of 75% of the year's wines and 25% of reserve wines (the wine from previous years). The cellar master decides the proportions between Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Meunier. During the bottling process, sugar and yeast are added to prepare the wine for sparkling.
The bottles are then stored, usually for 18 months for the Cuvée Tsarine Premium Brut, to mature and offer you the best sensations of Tsarine Champagne. The vintage wines wait up to 48 months, before being offered for sale. It is still necessary to proceed to the disgorging which consists in expelling the deposit accumulated in the neck of the bottle. After the addition of liqueur, which determines the semi-dry, brut or extra brut, the bottle is corked and labelled. The Tsarine Champagne is ready to be tasted!
