Who makes it

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.

Where it grows

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.

What they make

Voyage 360 Brut Nature is the three grape cuvée, with 34% Pinot Noir, 33% Chardonnay and 33% Pinot Meunier. The near equal proportions give the wine a balanced composition across Champagne's main varieties.

Terroir Natal is a Brut Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs with a fruity, fresh, lively and aromatic profile. Tango Paradoxe Brut Rosé adds a rosé cuvée to the lineup. The range moves between a three grape Brut Nature, a Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs and a Brut Rosé.
