Charles Ellner

Charles Ellner is a small Champagne house from Epernay, the true capital of the Champagne region.
The Ellner family has been involved in viticulture for over a century and has handed down the culture and ancient savoir-faire from generation to generation, up to the present day.

The vineyards cover a total area of about 50 hectares, divided into many parcels, which are located in different areas of the Champagne region: Côtes d'Epernay, Côte des Blancs, Montagne de Reims, Côte de Sézanne, Vallée de la Marne and Bar sur Aubois.
The presence of vines grown in areas with different microclimates and soils allows the Maison to have a wide range of vins clairs with different characteristics. Each parcel is selected and assembled by the Chef de Cave for the creation of the various labels of the Maison's vast range. A richness that allows Ellner to create harmonious and balanced cuvées each year.
The possibility of having vineyards available in all areas of Champagne also guarantees the possibility of cultivating pinot noir, meunier and chardonnay in the historically most suitable places.
A guarantee to have grapes, they are not only of excellent quality, but also perfectly ripe, aromatically rich and with high acidity, essential for sparkling wine with the Champenoise Method.

Champagnes such as Brut Grande Réserve (92 pt WE) and Brut Carte Blanche (91 pt WS) are synonymous with elegance and versatility, perfect pairing with a great variety of dishes, as well as the Premier Cru (93 pt WE) and finally the surprising Pas Dosé Integrale (90 pt WS), a blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

Ellner Champagnes are the pure expression of a classic style, capable of telling a territory and its history in a glass. For this, Charles Ellner is Maison de Champagne of the year according to Vino.com: a truly deserved award!
