Pierre Trichet

Pierre Trichet is a Champagne producer based in the Champagne region of France. The house specializes in sparkling wines made according to the traditional méthode champenoise, focusing on Premier Cru vineyard sites within the region's classified vineyard hierarchy.

The Champagne appellation is renowned for its unique combination of chalky soils, cool continental climate, and strict production regulations that govern everything from grape growing to riddling and disgorgement. Premier Cru vineyards, which represent the second-highest classification tier in Champagne, are located in villages rated between 90-99% on the échelle des crus quality scale. These sites typically produce wines with greater complexity and aging potential than those from unclassified villages.

Pierre Trichet's current range demonstrates the classic Champagne approach to blending, working with the region's three primary grape varieties: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier. Their portfolio includes both a traditional multi-grape cuvée and a Blanc de Blancs expression made exclusively from Chardonnay, showcasing the versatility of Premier Cru fruit from their vineyard holdings.
