Press release

The Champagne Growers and Houses announce the launch of the new official Champagne wine website.

This new-look website has been designed by the CIVC to provide amateurs and professionals alike with accurate and authoritative information on Champagne. 

Site Tours

Our homepage gives access to four thematic tours – Discover  Select Tasting Explore each describing a different aspect of Champagne wines. Using words, videos, practical information and sometimes simple exercises, we explain what makes our wines unique.

Find out about the Champagne terroir, how Champagne wines are made and how they differ in style, how to serve them and with what foods, how to taste them and how to recognise the four different families. In short, everything you need to know to find you way around this rich and fascinating universe.

Search tools

Simply click on the appropriate tool in the « Search » menu to select the option you want.

New attractions

Twenty new videos: take a fresh look at the lifecycle of the vine, Champagne winemaking techniques, tasting and gourmet ways of combining Champagne wines with food.
