Waris et Filles

Champagne Waris et Filles is a family-owned champagne house built on heritage, passion, and craftsmanship. After completing business studies, Virginie, alongside Bertrand who studied viticulture, spent five years working amongst the vineyards and olive groves of Provence before returning to Champagne to continue their family legacy. Today, they proudly care for seven hectares of vineyards passed down through generations — a responsibility they approach with dedication, generosity, and respect for the land. As artisan winemakers, they nurture their vines and craft their champagnes with meticulous attention and a genuine love for their craft.

Food Pairings

The richness and structure of Millésime 2018 make it an exceptional food champagne. Pair it with roasted poultry, duck breast, lobster with beurre blanc, aged Comté, mushroom risotto, or dishes featuring toasted nuts and brown butter. Its fine acidity and textured palate also complement truffle dishes and elegant seafood preparations beautifully.

Technical Notes

Crafted from 70% Pinot Noir sourced equally from Barbonne and Bar-sur-Seine, alongside 30% Chardonnay, Millésime 2018 undergoes delicate pneumatic pressing followed by alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel tanks. Secondary fermentation takes place slowly in bottle within the house’s traditional chalk cellars, allowing the wine to develop complexity and finesse over time. The champagne is bottled at 12.9% alcohol with a dosage of 4g/L, placing it firmly within the Extra Brut style category.

What to Expect

The Millésime 2018 is a powerful yet refined vintage champagne that beautifully captures the warmth and generosity of the 2018 harvest. Dominated by Pinot Noir with a touch of Chardonnay, this cuvée delivers remarkable depth, structure, and aromatic complexity. Expect indulgent notes of honey, quince, roasted hazelnut praline, dried fruits, and buttery pastry, balanced by refreshing hints of citrus, fresh pear, cardamom, and anise. The palate is textured and generous, supported by an exceptionally fine mousse and a long, elegant finish.
