FIND YOUR CHAMPAGNE CHARACTER!
Discover character champagnes at Champagne Characters
At Champagne Characters, we help you select the right champagne not only by grape variety or dosage, for example, but also by character. After all, when buying champagne, people are often not looking for analytical data, but rather a bottle that matches a feeling, a moment, or a mood.
That's why our grower champagnes are assigned different characters. Whether fine & elegant, warm-hearted & life-affirming, or sophisticated & ambitious: each champagne tells a story about its personality, making the selection easier. This personal touch is particularly noticeable in grower champagnes, i.e., champagnes from independent winemakers. With our character classification, you can discover special champagnes to suit the occasion, your taste, or your curiosity.
Because champagne should not only be understood, but above all enjoyed.
