Champagne Pannier

The traditional blending of Champagne wines is the secret which goes into making Pannier a classic Champagne. The three traditional varieties of Champagne go into the house NV which is then aged in the ancient cellars of Pannier's Chateau Thierry before release.Pannier is somewhat off the beaten track amidst the vineyards of the Marne Valley, and combines tradition with the latest technology at all stages of the production process, enabling a combination of technical assurance and creativity. These factors, under the guidance and mastery of Pannier's chef de caves results in a Champagne that is consistent with the house - a wine of elegance, balance and length.The house was founded by Louis Eugene Pannier in Dizy, Epernay in 1899. In 1937, his son purchased medieval cellars in Château-Thierry in the nearby Marne Valley and the thriving estate was moved to its present day home in the same year.During an archaeological study in 1999, a XIV century rock carving of an archer was found in the cellars bearing the legend 'Ad perfectionem intendere' (We aim for perfection). This became the motto and embodiment of the spirit of Pannier.
