If exceptional had a name, it would be Champagne Alfred Gratien. Alfred Gratien champagnes are handcrafted for guaranteed quality and consistency. A few miles away from Épernay’s bustling town center, deep in the heart of a Champagne vineyard, are the Alfred Gratien champagne cellars. It was here, on Rue Maurice Cerveaux, that Alfred Gratien set up his business and created his first cuvées in 1864. For over a century and a half, Alfred Gratien champagnes have remained a family affair, perpetuated by the expertise and know-how of their founder. To this day, the house honours tradition with oak barrel vinification—a technique known as sous-bois—that imparts depth and complexity to every bottle.
Nestled in the famed Champagne region of Épernay, Alfred Gratien’s cellars sit at the heart of one of France’s most prestigious winemaking areas. The region’s cool climate, chalky soils, and rolling vineyard landscapes provide ideal conditions for cultivating grapes with freshness, minerality, and finesse. As you step inside the Gratien cellars, the rows of nearly 1,000 oak barrels stand as a testament to the house’s deep connection to its land and legacy. Every bottle is a true expression of Champagne terroir—refined, age-worthy, and unmistakably elegant.
