Each wine reflects the hands and vision of Pierre Trichet, favoring fruity aromas and memorable expressions.
MoreThe Pierre Trichet House is one of the most authentic and distinctive names in contemporary Champagne. Its history begins in the 1950s, when Antoinette Trichet, grandmother of Pierre, together with her husband Edmond, planted the first vines, laying the foundation for a tradition in the heart of Trois-Puits, a Premier Cru of the Montagne de Reims. In the 1960s and 1970s, the family expanded its vineyards and vinification activities, establishing the Trichet-Didier label, with the first bottles aged in historic chalk cellars.
In 1989, Pierre Trichet, representing the third generation, took over the estate, modernizing processes while respecting tradition. Since 2015, he signs the bottles with his name and the phrase “Champagne taillé main depuis 1947,” honoring his ancestors and the first vineyard planted by his grandmother. The estate today manages 8.5 hectares of owned vineyards in Trois-Puits, Montbré, and Cormontreuil, growing 53% Pinot Meunier, 33% Pinot Noir, and 14% Chardonnay.
Pierre Trichet’s champagnes mature in chalk cellars 8 meters underground, where constant humidity and temperature ensure ideal aging. Every step, from pruning to harvest, blending to aging, is carefully overseen, prioritizing aromatic, fruity, and memorable wines that reflect both the terroir and human touch. Limited annual production of about 80,000 bottles, all distributed directly, guarantees quality and provides champagnes of elegance, freshness, and distinctive character. The Pierre Trichet House embodies family tradition, craftsmanship, and authenticity, ideal for enthusiasts seeking unique and characterful champagnes.
