Champagne Guy Charlemagne is situated in the heart of the Côte des Blancs, in the small village of Mesnil sur Oger. As father to son winegrowers since 1892, we only harvest and vinify grapes from our own vineyards. We produce around 130 000 bottles per year, sold 30% in France and 70% abroad.
Our motto “QUALITY IS MY TRUTH” is a constant motivation. Surrounded by a highly qualified staff, we all work together to elaborate our wines with the same objective. As a family business where tradition finds its path, we wish to share with you the values of our prestigious terroir by highlighting quality, authenticity and our dream.
