2006 Charles de Cazanove Millesime Brut Champagne
A ‘millésime’ is a champagne from a specific harvest year. When the harvest year was exceptionally good, a cuvée will be made with only the grapes of that year.
Champagne Charles de Cazanove, though now based in Reims, was founded in Avizé, in the Côte des Blancs subregion of Champagne, in 1811 by Charles Gabriel de Cazanove – a 24-year-old glassmaker. Nearly one hundred years later, mirroring the royal patronage of many Champagne houses of the late 19th Century, King Edward VII of England was having stock specially imported from France with his own personal label.
From the 1950s the Martini and Rossi company gained increasing control of the house. It was owned by Moët and Chandon from 1983 to 1985 before being sold to an Epernay distributor.
In 2004, it was purchased by the Rapeneau family, owners of the GH Martel Champagne house. It now falls within the wider GH Martel group.
