Collection: Champagne Claude Cazals

Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Côte des Blancs


In 1897 Ernest Cazals, a cooper from the South of France, married a girl from Champagne. That was the creation of what is now known as Claude Cazals.

The Domaine has nine hectares spread across four villages in the Côte des Blancs: Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Oger, Vertus and Villeneuve. The pearl of the Domaine is a three hectare clos in the heart of Oger, next to the Church. The oldest vines which ripen almost a full degree higher than other vines in Oger, go into Le Clos Cazals, while the younger vines go into La Chapelle du Clos. Both very serious examples of grand cru Chardonnay in Champagne. The clos is one of only 21 in the whole of Champagne.

Claude Cazals was a co-inventor of the now famous gyropalette that riddles wine mechanically until the dead yeast has settled in the neck of the bottle ready for disgorgement. A huge claim to fame!

These wines are highly sought after, particularly in America where demand far outweighs supply.
