Champagne Naveau: A Family Tradition in Cote des Blancs

Champagne Naveau has been a cherished family estate in the heart of Cote des Blancs for nearly 150 years. Known as the birthplace of Chardonnay, the Naveau family has cultivated vineyards in Bergeres les Vertus for over a century. Since taking over in 1998, Christian Naveau has honored his father's legacy by nurturing the vines with care. He is committed to sustainable and ecological practices, ensuring that each bottle of champagne reflects the exceptional terroir of the region. All champagnes are aged for a minimum of 36 months, allowing them to develop rich flavors and high quality. The grapes primarily come from esteemed Premier Cru vines, contributing to the unique character of their wines.

Commitment to Sustainable and Organic Practices

The northern Champagne region presents challenging climatic conditions, along with a distinctive subsoil and hilly landscape, which together create a remarkable terroir. This environment imparts a unique flavor profile to their champagnes that cannot be found elsewhere. The steep vineyards benefit from abundant sunlight and limestone-rich soils. While Chardonnay dominates the plantings, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier also thrive here. For over a decade, the estate has prioritized sustainable and organic viticulture, avoiding chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Their champagnes often age for twice as long as others in the region, with exclusive vintages like ‘Demain’ maturing for 60 months and ‘Rhapsodie’ for an impressive 120 months. This dedication to quality sets Champagne Naveau apart in the world of fine wines.
