THE BRAND
Founded in 1897 in the heart of the charming village of Mesnil-sur-Oger, the Maison de champagne Claude Cazals has seen four generations of passionate winegrowers pass through this family land. Under the expert management of Delphine Cazals, the vineyard is dedicated exclusively to Chardonnay. Benefiting from an ideal oceanic climate, with a perfect balance of sun and rain, as well as perfect exposure, their nine hectares of vines constitute a true sanctuary of peace. The vines are cultivated with the greatest respect for the soil and biodiversity, thus preserving the natural balance of their ecosystem. The Maison's vinifications adopt a low-interventionist approach, favoring a minimal use of sulfur to allow the Chardonnay to fully reveal its mineral notes, its citrus and floral aromas. The Cazals family embodies a history where tradition and innovation meet, revealing a subtle balance between ancestral know-how and modern winemaking techniques. Proud of their roots, the Cazals house proudly perpetuates age-old practices while embracing contemporary oenological advances.
