CHAMPAGNE TSARINE

CHAMPAGNE TSARINE In the 19th century, Russian high society was fond of the french culture, and especialy champagne. As a tribute to this russian era, the Chanoise house, founded in 1730, lauched the Tsarine Champagne. Its exclusive bottle with its sleek curves recalls the architecture of the greatest russian monuments.  

History

The French language echoes through the palace corridors in Saint Petersburg, Parisian fashion is all the rage, interesting discussions take place on the major works of the age of enlightenment. At this period, Russian high society took a liking to French culture, and especially to its finest illsutration: champagne. Introduced to the court of the Empress Anna Ivanovna, it quickly became the guest of honour at all banquets, especially at the table of Catherine the Great and the highest nobility in the Empire. It is to pay tribute to this period in Russian history that Maison Chanoine, founded in 1730, created Tsarine Champagne. Its exclusively designed, long, curved bottle bears certain similarities to the architecture of the great Russian monuments. Its emblematic colours, its rounded label and its evocative name are all redolent of the period of the great Russian dynasties.

Philosophy

"The Pinot Noir grape provides the back-bone of our wine, the Pinot Meunier lending softness and fruit aromas, while the Chardonnay grape imparts delicacy and elegance. This is the spirit of the Tsarine range. " Isabelle Tellier Champagne Tsarine Wine - Maker.
