VINTAGE FORGOTTEN

The Sanger brand was born in 1952 from the desire of winegrowers to enhance the components of the Champagne terroir. These 16 winegrowers, mainly from the Montagne de Reims, decided to set up the Sanger house in Avize. Sanger is located on 13 hectares spread over 42 crus representing the entire Champagne appellation, allowing our range to offer a taste journey in Champagne. With 70% of our supplies in Grand Cru Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, we combine elegance, finesse and character in our exceptional cuvées. Our reserve wines isolated by vintage and by year are selected for their aptitude for ageing. They support our cuvées over time and bring consistency to our style. To offer you mature cuvées, respecting their origins and their purity, we leave time to time while respecting the raw material: from fruit to oak from the Avize forest. “It is important for us to know where we come from to know where we are going in order to offer a range reconciling tradition and modernity” Eco-responsible practices The material and human resources allow a more responsible approach to the land and wine-growing techniques. The goal is to improve every day. The grapes delivered to Sanger are produced according to responsible techniques, treatments are limited, the use of biotechnologies is favoured, the choice of sizes and weeds are adapted... In the cellars, long aging on lees is practiced, the objective being to intervene as little as possible. Organic certification has not been requested, however the practices are similar. Les Oubliés is a collection of 500 bottles of exceptional champagnes carefully kept in a vaulted cellar under 5m of chalk.
