Charles de Cazanove
Charles de Cazanove produces champagne from the Champagne region of France, working with the classic varieties that define the appellation: Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Pinot Meunier. The house's portfolio centers on three flagship expressions. Vieille France Blanc de Noirs Brut, built entirely from Pinot Noir, represents a darker, more structured approach to champagne. Stradivarius Gold Brut blends all three varieties into a more complex cuvée. Tradition Millésimé Brut, a vintage expression, pairs Pinot Noir with Chardonnay. Wine Spectator and Wine Enthusiast have both assessed the range, with the Vieille France and Stradivarius cuvées earning particular recognition among prestige critics. The house's focus on traditional champagne production—balancing the weight of Pinot Noir with the finesse of Chardonnay—positions it within the broader Champagne tradition of elegant, food-friendly sparkling wines.
