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
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.
Wines
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.
In The Glass
Terroir Natal brings apple, nectarine, citrus and white peach on the nose, with freshness, minerality and a suave palate. The fruit remains lively and aromatic through the finish.
Voyage 360 is balanced across Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier. Its Brut Nature designation indicates a dosage style with no added sugar after disgorgement, leaving the sparkling wine dry in character.
A Bottle To Understand It
Choose Voyage 360 Brut Nature. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier appear in almost equal shares, while Brut Nature identifies the cuvée's dry dosage style. It presents all three grapes together in one bottle, unlike Terroir Natal's Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs format and Tango Paradoxe's rosé style.
Final Word
Champagne Sanger joins an Avize base, a cooperative cellar, vineyards across Champagne and a school facility where students create and sell champagne. Its range includes a near equal three grape Brut Nature, a Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs and a Brut Rosé.
