Producer Information: Alfred Gratien

Alfred Gratien, established in 1864 in Épernay at the heart of France’s Champagne region, has built its legacy on a commitment to traditional craftsmanship and small-scale production. The house is distinguished by its use of oak barrels for fermentation, a rare practice among Champagne producers that imparts complexity and depth to their wines. Alfred Gratien’s philosophy centers on meticulous grape selection from premier vineyards across the Marne Valley, Côte des Blancs, and Montagne de Reims, ensuring each cuvée reflects the unique terroir of these celebrated locations. While their focus remains firmly on Champagne—particularly elegant blends dominated by Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier—they also produce limited quantities of still wines under the Coteaux Champenois appellation, further showcasing their expertise with local grape varieties and reinforcing their reputation within both sparkling and still wine categories in Épernay.
