About the Wine

In 1811, the young Charles Gabriel De Cazanove, an ambitious 24-year-old from a long line of master glassmakers, founded his own Champagne House in Avize, in the heart of the Côte des Blancs. Over 2 centuries later, Champagne Charles de Cazanove is synonymous with family, dedication and a unique expertise carefully handed down through generations.

Today, Champagne Charles de Cazanove enjoys the use of efficient oenological and technological facilities and produces over 3 million bottles a year. Vinification mostly takes place in stainless steel vats, but where necessary, some wines spend time in oak to acquire that wonderful fullness that oak barrels provide. The wines take time to age in the traditional Champagne chalk cellar.

The Champagne Charles de Cazanove Difference:

Maison Charles de Cazanove is the 6th largest producer in Champagne and the last family-owned and operated house in Champagne.

The Charles de Cazanove range includes many unique estates, each with their own unique identity and the family’s reputation of quality.

Reviews

An expressive rosé, offering a pleasing juiciness to the spiced notes of ripe cherry, black currant, pastry, ground clove, and blanched almond. This is finely textured, with a minerally base note and a lingering finish. Drink now through 2018. 10,000 cases made.  ~92WS

Engaging ripe citrus and pineapple, supported by bright acidity and creaminess. Hint of purity in the fruit and some biscuit notes.~90 Decanter
