Maison Moillard is situated in the beautiful region, Cote d’Or, famous for its limestone and marl characteristics and perfect for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay growth. Forged by Symphorien Moillard in 1850, the brand still stands behind its value and tradition of growing the best grapes and making the finest wines. Their objective is to produce elegant and powerful wines that will age well and that can be appreciated at any time. In 2008, the family passed the torch to Vincent Sauvestre, who took the winery to new heights. In 2009, a new winery was built in Nuits-St-Georges with state-of-the-art facilities installed to ensure that the highest quality is produced with absolute precision.

In addition to properties in Burgundy & Rhone, Moillard produces wine from Domaine du Chateau d’Eau, a property located just outside Béziers, in the area around the town of Colombiers, in the heart of the Languedoc vineyards. The property has been organically certified since 2005. This is not just a theoretical decision, but is a true life choice and a state of mind: cultivating the vines is a daily act to produce quality wine while respecting the environment.

Bailly, a village in Burgundy, is the birthplace of the AOC Crémant de Bourgogne. Since 1972, in an underground quarry providing unique natural conditions, Bailly Lapierre has been operating as a family co-operative, producing sparkling wines that belong to a world of enchantment. They come from superb noble grapes, hand-harvested then vinified and patiently matured.

Charles Heidsieck, founded in 1851, is recognised as the producer of some of the Champagne region’s most exceptional and sought-after wines. Under the oenological direction of highly-awarded Director of Winemaking for Piper-Heidsieck and Charles Heidsieck, Régus Camus – and the Charles Heidsieck Chef de Caves, Cyril Brun – the Charles Heidsieck champagnes have developed an enviable reputation for quality amongst champagne connoisseurs around the world.

Charles Heidsieck is a champagne recognised most often by the industry. The awards are of course bestowed on the winemakers who have been named Sparkling Winemaker of the Year twelve times in just eighteen years. It is only logical that, in parallel to their work, the champagnes themselves have received 11 Grand Gold medals, 101 Gold medals (37 between 2008 and 2011), 25 Silver medals and not less than 32 trophies. This eminent list of medals has honoured both the prestigious “Blanc des Millenaires”, which received 98/100 from Gilbert and Gaillard in 2010 as well as the emblematic Brut Reserve, crowned “Wine of the Year” by Bettane and Desseauve in 2012.

Charles Heidsieck Brut Reserve NV was awarded “World Best Non-Vintage Blend” by Champagne & Sparkling Wine World Championships 2016
