Champagne Soutiran

A Family Champagne House Since 1954

Champagne Soutiran has been producing wine in Ambonnay since 1954, with three generations of the family dedicated to expressing the character of this exceptional Grand Cru terroir. The house remains proudly independent, combining heritage knowledge with a contemporary approach to winemaking. Each cuvée reflects careful vineyard work, precise blending and a commitment to quality over volume.

Ambonnay Grand Cru Terroir

Ambonnay sits on the south eastern slopes of the Montagne de Reims and is widely recognised for producing some of Champagne’s most structured and expressive wines. The chalk rich soils and sunny exposure are particularly well suited to Pinot Noir, giving power, finesse and mineral tension. Chardonnay thrives here too, adding freshness, depth and generosity to the blends.

Pinot Noir Led Style

Champagne Soutiran is best known for its Pinot Noir driven Champagnes. These wines offer structure, depth and a savoury backbone while remaining elegant and balanced. Chardonnay plays a vital supporting role, bringing lift, precision and aromatic clarity. The result is a house style that feels confident, expressive and food friendly.

Precision Winemaking

Nothing at Soutiran is left to chance. From vineyard management through to vinification and blending, every step is carefully controlled. Fermentation and ageing are handled with patience, allowing the wines to develop complexity and texture while retaining freshness. Extended lees ageing is used on several cuvées to build richness and fine mousse.

Elegant and Versatile Champagnes

Champagne Soutiran produces a focused range of cuvées, including classic Brut styles, Blanc de Blancs, Rosé and low dosage expressions. These wines are designed to appeal to both experienced Champagne drinkers and those discovering grower Champagne for the first time. They work equally well as aperitifs, at the table or for marking special moments.

Sustainable Vineyard Practices

The Soutiran family takes a responsible approach to viticulture, avoiding insecticides and weedkillers wherever possible. The diversity of their vineyard plots allows each parcel to be treated individually, preserving the health of the vines and the long term quality of the land. This respect for the environment is reflected in the purity and clarity of the wines.
