In 1919, the brothers Fernand & Gaston Chiquet - winegrowers by trade - joined forces to create their commercial house Chiquet Frères. They were 'pionniers' in Champagne, the first winegrowers to take a bold initiative for the time: look at their grapes, process them in the Champenois method and then market the wine. In 1923, they won their first medal in PARIS then their 'Médaille d'Or' in Epernay. In 1935, the brothers split up and Gaston Chiquet created his own brand.
In 1950, Gaston and his son Claude bought land in Ay and Hautvillers. Thus they have new possibilities for blending, an essential art in the elaboration of Champagne.
In their turn, Antoine and Nicolas Chiquet, in 2003, ensure continuity while respecting ancestral rules: "Our essential objective is to guarantee the quality requirements of which we are the heirs"; even if techniques have improved, the tradition remains. Read more
