Champagne​‌​ Christian Naudé is an independent wine producer (Récoltant-Manipulant) based in Charly-sur-Marne in the Marne valley, France. Today the house is run by Magali and Geoffroy Naudé, who are the fifth generation of the family.

• History: The Naudé family has managed vineyards for more than a hundred years. In the 1960s they sold their grapes to négociants in Reims and Épernay. Under the leadership of Christian Naudé it was decided in the 1980s to produce champagne themselves, which led to the founding of the current house.
• Vineyards and Terroir: The estate covers 6.5 hectares (some sources say 5 hectares) and lies between Bonneil and Charly-sur-Marne. The soil consists of limestone, chalk, clay and marl, ideal for the three traditional grape varieties: Pinot Meunier, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Geoffroy Naudé places a strong emphasis on Pinot Meunier, which in his view best reflects the character of the Marne valley.
• Approach: Production takes place entirely in-house, from vineyard to bottling, in accordance with the code of the Vignerons Indépendants. They practise balanced pest management (lutte raisonnée) to respect the environment. The house style is characterised by champagnes that are frank, precise and approachable, with respect for the traditional champagne method.
• Champagnes: The range includes various cuvées, including the Brut Tradition (Blanc de Noirs), the Carte Rouge Réserve, Rosé, Blanc de Blancs and the Eminence vintage. The champagnes have won several medals, such as gold at the Concours Général Agricole in Paris (2017). Visitors can visit the cellar and vineyard with a guided tasting.
