The story began in the early 1960s, inspired by a handful of winegrowers from Janvry near to Reims, who
decided to join forces and pool their ressources to craft their ouwn Champagne. Their aim was to promote
their terroir– the western slopes of the Montagne de Reims.

The years went by and the small group expanded; the founding fathers were joined by several other
winegrowers who shared the same desire for solidarity and mutual assistance.
Today, the winegrowers of Champagne Ch. De l’Auche are writing their own story centred on a shared
passion. They champion the values passed dow from generation to generation and tend their vines by
applying well-thought out, considered methods to offer the very best grapes.
Champagne Ch. de l’Auche

At the beginning, the group of winegrowers created a range of Blanc de Noirs Champagnes from their
vineyards that are mostly planted with Pinot Meunier.
Established in Janvry, 15km west of Reims in a place know as « L’Auche », they naturally chose this name
for the first Champagne they created.

The essence of Prestige des Sacres Champagne is inextricably interwined with the history of France. It was
in Reims, the very heart of the Champagne Appellation area, that no fewer than 33 kings of France were
crowned.

It is possible that the Prince of Turenne himself savoured wines from our vineyard since he was offered one
hundred bottles of this beverage for the occasion of Louis XV’s coronation in 1722, and, at the thime, some
of the wines served during the celebration undoubtely came from our vineyard.

In homage to the origin of their vines and their rich story, our winegrowers have chosen the name Prestige
des Sacres for their range of Champagne elaborated also Chardonnay, and a packaging design using royal
colours and symbols.
