Charles Ellner is a family house in Épernay, where the Ellner family has cultivated its vineyards since 1905; its know-how has been passed down from generation to generation.
Vineyards The house owns 45 hectares of vineyards in the Montagne de Reims, the Côte des Blancs and the Vallée de la Marne, planted with Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Meunier. The estate is certified Haute Valeur Environnementale (HVE 3).
Methods The entire production, from the selection of the grapes to bottling, takes place on site. The house is continuing to move towards plot-by-plot vinification. It deliberately does not carry out malolactic fermentation, to preserve freshness, tension and ageing potential; the wines therefore age for at least 5 years on the lees in the cellars.
Champagnes The range is divided into the Tradition, Expression and Légende lines and includes Carte Blanche, 3 Cépages (brut or demi-sec), Rosé, Grande Réserve, Blanc de Blancs, Premier Cru, Intégral, Brut Nature Premier Cru and the vintages Séduction 2012 and Prestige 2011. The house also makes a Ratafia de Champagne. Visits and tastings are available by appointment.
