Wine Description:
Gaston Chiquet has earned a stellar reputation, a notable achievement in a region crowded with numerous small producers. This recognition is a testament to the dedication of owners Antoine and Nicolas Chiquet. Located in the charmingly named Dizy, the family's history with vines dates back to 1746, but it wasn't until 1935 that brothers Ferdinand and Gaston Chiquet ventured into Champagne production under their own label instead of solely supplying grapes to larger houses. With vineyards in prestigious villages like Ay, Mareuil-sur-Ay, and Hautvillers, they currently craft 15,000 cases annually, featuring a blend of Pinot Meunier, Chardonnay, and Pinot Noir.
