Extra Brut

DESCRIPTION & composition

The inspiration behind Champagne Tsarine flacon was born in 1996 during a dinner at « le Chardonnay » restaurant in Reims, table n°15. Philippe Baijot, captivated by the curves of an old decanter, sketched the design of a flacon which would embody the timeless elegance sought after for his wines. Despite the challenges of finding someone capable to bring this audacious project to life, his meeting with a Venetian glassmaker willing to become his exclusive supplier for 10 years allowed it to become reality, marking the beginning of one of the most amazing contemporary stories in Champagne.
Each cuvee reveals a perfect balance between finesse elegance and freshness. Champagne Tsarine invites everyone to celebrate life most precious moments in a world where French flair meets elegance.
