MEET THE PRODUCER
Champagne Benoit Cocteaux
A Legacy of Excellence
Since 1650, the Cocteaux family has passed down a rich heritage of winemaking, culminating in the creation of Champagne Benoit Cocteaux. Situated in the Sézannais, the southernmost part of the Côte des Blancs, the vineyard thrives on a subsoil rich in chalk, which imbues the wines with their unique character and strength.
Sustainable Practices
Owned and operated by Hélène and Benoit Cocteaux, the estate is certified High Environmental Value, reflecting a deep commitment to sustainable viticulture. Every bottle of Champagne Benoit Cocteaux is crafted with the utmost respect for the environment, making it a testament to the timeless traditions and forward-thinking innovations of its creators.
The Love Story Behind the Champagne
In 2003, Hélène and Benoit met, bringing together two terroirs, two origins, and one shared dream—to create great Champagnes. Their union gave birth to Champagne Benoit Cocteaux, a brand synonymous with quality and passion.
