Charles de Cazanove Champagne Tasting
Founded in 1811 in Avize by Charles Gabriel de Cazanove, Charles de Cazanove blends a historic Champagne-house identity with a central Reims visitor base and a style that is bold, structured, and distinctly house-driven.
Founded in 1811 in Avize by Charles Gabriel de Cazanove, the house combines a Reims city-center location with a chic, slightly offbeat house identity and a visitor experience closer to a major Champagne house than to a small grower. The house identity is rooted in its historic origins in Avize, now anchored in Reims at Place de la Republique. Founded by Charles Gabriel de Cazanove in 1811, it is known for a family heritage, a polished visitor experience, and a style that balances boldness, freshness, and structure. Together, these elements define Charles de Cazanove through its founding story, grape and cuvée range, winemaking profile, and urban tasting format.
