Champagne Autréau de Champillon

Champagne Autréau de Champillon

Champagne Autréau de Champillon is a Récoltant-Manipulant from Champillon in the Montagne de Reims. Founded in 1670, the maison is now led by Laurent. The family cultivates Premier and Grand Cru sites and sees itself as guardian of a winemaking tradition spanning over 350 years.

History

The roots of the Autréau family reach back to 1670 — that's when the family tradition in winemaking began. For more than three centuries, knowledge about vines and champagne has been passed down from generation to generation.

In recent years, the maison has received recognition at international competitions: in 2025, the Brut Rosé Premier Cru won gold at the Mundus Vini Competition, and the Brut Premier Cru took silver. A year later, in 2026, the Guide Hachette awarded the Réserve Brut Grand Cru two stars and the Extra-Brut Premier Cru one star.

The Cuvées in Detail

Réserve Brut Grand Cru
