CHAMPAGNE CHARLES ELLNER

■ Brut Séduction 2007

ripe fruits with a toast tone, sweet spices and tobacco.

PRESENTATION : Founded by Charles-Emile Ellner in
1905, this house is still family-run. It farms a sizeable
50-hectare vineyard spread over 15 localities, giving it
significant independence in terms of supplies. Pierre
Ellner continued to build on his father’s legacy,
establishing the quality to which Champagne Charles
Ellner owes its excellent image. Pierre’s four sons –
Jacques, Michel, Jean-Pierre and Philippe – subsequently
took over yet continued to uphold the founders’ spirit.
Jean-Pierre and his wife now manage the company, with
the help of the fourth generation. Emmanuelle and
Alexandra are tasked with marketing, communications
and administration, whilst Frédéric and Arnaud are in
charge of the vineyards and work in the winery.
Together, and with the same motivation, they have
introduced the changes required for the family-owned
company to meet the needs of today’s markets,
modernising the production facilities in Epernay whilst
safeguarding the family’s traditions and spirit.

village in the entire region. Boasting 30 hectares of
owned vineyards complemented by an extra 125
supplied by grape purchase contracts with vine growers
selected for their expertise, Champagne J.M. Gobillard &
Fils produces 1.5 million bottles annually, 50% of them

Environmental Value) for all of its vineyards.
