Why it matters
The producer
Sixteen winegrowers founded Champagne Sanger in 1952. The house combines a cooperative cellar with an operational teaching facility for the Lycée Viticole d'Avize. The school's 380 pupils and students train within the production facility, under the supervision of the head winemaker and teaching staff, and create and sell a unique range of champagnes.
The vineyards include grapes from environmentally friendly and organic viticulture. The range includes Grand Cru Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, alongside cuvées built from several Champagne grape varieties.
Place and vineyards
Where the wines begin
Avize places Champagne Sanger in the heart of the Côte des Blancs. The vineyard holdings extend across the Champagne appellation, connecting the home village to a broad set of cru origins. The house therefore works from an Avize base while drawing on vineyards spread across the region.
