Champagne Autreau de Champillon

Estate-grown Champagne from Premier and Grand Cru villages

The Autréau family has grown grapes on the slopes of Champillon since 1670, and has made its own Champagne since the 1950s - today one of the Marne Valley's respected family houses, run by the eighth generation. Their wines come from 33 hectares across Premier Cru Champillon, Dizy and Hautvillers and Grand Cru Aÿ and Chouilly, vinified in-house from estate fruit. The result is Champagne with real character, from cru vineyards the big names charge a premium for. Fast, tracked UK delivery, next-day available.

Why Autréau de Champillon is worth knowing

Autréau is a grower house - the family owns its vineyards and makes the Champagne itself, rather than buying in fruit like the big names. They have farmed the slopes above Champillon since 1670 and made their own Champagne since the 1950s, now into the eighth generation. That matters because the quality is in their hands from vine to bottle, and because the fruit comes from properly rated villages: Premier Cru Champillon, Dizy and Hautvillers, and Grand Cru Aÿ and Chouilly. It is the cru pedigree of a serious house, from a family that answers for every bottle.

How Autréau makes its Champagne

Autréau works around 33 hectares across four terroirs, vinifying its own estate fruit in-house rather than buying in. The grapes are hand-picked and made by the traditional Champagne method, with the wines resting on their lees before release. The family farms sustainably - certified High Environmental Value at Level 3 - and sells only to independent merchants and restaurants, never supermarkets. It is a small-scale, hands-on way of working that keeps quality under the family's control from vine to bottle.

The Autréau range: Brut, Rosé and Blanc de Blancs

The range covers the house's core styles. The Premier Cru Brut is the signature - a Pinot Noir-led blend with Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay, rounded and easy to enjoy. The Premier Cru Rosé brings red-fruit character and a deeper colour for something a little different. At the top, the Blanc de Blancs is pure Chardonnay from Grand Cru Chouilly, the freshest and most precise of the three. For the full selection across every house, see the wider Champagne collection.

Grower Champagne as an alternative to the big names

If you usually reach for a grande marque, a grower like Autréau is the natural next step - the same cru fruit and traditional method, from a family house rather than a global brand. It makes a confident choice for someone who enjoys Champagne and likes discovering the names behind it. For another grower house worth trying, see EPC Champagne; for boxed bottles and sets from every house, our Champagne gifts collection has the full range.

The Fulham Wine Co. Take

Most of the Champagne people know comes from a handful of giant houses. Autréau is the other kind - a family that has worked the same Champillon slopes for eight generations and makes the wine itself, from its own Premier and Grand Cru fruit. You get the cru pedigree the big names charge a fortune for, from a grower who answers for every bottle. The one to pour for people who think they already know Champagne.
