Brut Authentique

Henri Champliau is a family-owned sparkling wine house in Mercurey, in Burgundy’s Côte Chalonnaise. Founded in 2016 by Alexandre Graffard as a tribute to his grandfather, it operates as a négociant, sourcing grapes directly from growers and avoiding intermediaries. The boutique producer emphasizes sustainable, quality-focused farming and close oversight of its vineyard sources, although no formal certifications are cited. Ownership remains within the Graffard family, giving the house a personal, family-led identity.
