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.

Facts
the_champagne.guy Heute Nachmittag haben wir die Gelegenheit genutzt, um die warmen Strahlen auf der Terrasse aufzusaugen – mit einem Glas @champagne_autreau_off Rosé Premier Cru. Während die Kids sich auf dem Trampolin ausgepowert haben, konnten wir die Ruhe und die frischen Aromen dieses Champagners in vollen Zügen genießen. 🍾 Autréau Rosé Premier Cru – was steckt drin? ✔ Assemblage: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir & Pinot Meunier ✔ Dosage: 6 g/l – perfekt ausbalanciert ✔ Aromen: Schwarze Johannisbeeren, Brombeeren, Melone & Grapefruit ✔ Gaumen: Frisch, saftig, mit cremiger Perlage & langem Nachhall Das Glas macht den Unterschied! Ich liebe es, neue Champagner in verschiedenen Gläsern zu probieren – diesmal fiel die Wahl auf das Fatto a Mano mit rotem Stil von @riedel_official. Die Form lässt den Rosé wunderbar zur Geltung kommen, hebt die Frucht hervor und sorgt für eine angenehme Balance. ✨ Sonnige Nachmittage, ein frischer Rosé und ein bisschen Familienzeit – was will man mehr? Wer von euch genießt seinen Champagner auch am liebsten draußen? Oder gibt’s einen speziellen Moment, für den ihr euch Rosé-Champagner aufhebt? 🍷☀️ #ChampagneMoments #RoséChampagner #RiedelFattoAMano #TheChampagneGuy #Autréau #SonnigeAuszeit #ChampagnerLiebe
