Winery Notes

A prestige cuvée from an exceptional vintage. This mature Champagne opens with complex aromas of brioche, toasted hazelnut, and candied citrus peel. The palate is rich and layered, with fine bubbles and notes of baked apple, lemon cream, and a deep chalky minerality. Elegant structure and a long, lingering finish define this refined vintage expression.

About the Winery

The former owner named his brand Champagne Jeeper in tribute to the Willys Jeep he acquired from the American military at the end of the Second World War, which allowed him to tour the vineyards in total tranquillity.

Champagne Jeeper, whose winery is located in Faverolles et Coëmy, a commune near Reims in the north-west of the Champagne region, today has a workforce of around 45 people. Distributed throughout France and abroad, Champagne Jeeper also has offices in the United States and Japan.

The first production run of our house bottles was in 2010. The first bottles were then released in early 2014, presenting a new brand image for Jeeper, and were sold exclusively through the traditional channels.
