Champagne Soutiran

or three generations, every member of the Soutiran family has committed to continuing their traditions and has stayed true to our guiding principle: ‘creating fine wines brimming with emotion and striving for excellence’.

Paying close attention to the quality of their champagne wines, they draw inspiration from the heritage of their grandfather Gérard SOUTIRAN to shape their current work and explore their future.

Gérard’s oldest son Alain SOUTIRAN built on his father’s ambitions in 1969, expanding the vineyards in the Ambonnay terroirs. He began creating new wines revealing the many faces of the Grand Cru appellation.

From 1989 onwards, Soutiran champagnes were exported all over the world thanks to the promotion efforts of Valérie SOUTIRAN, Alain’s oldest daughter. Accompanied by her husband and cellar master Patrick RENAUX since 1999, the pair have been continuing their predecessors’ work by building on 70 years of expertise in family adventures.

"We now work as a pair to create every single one of our wines. Nothing is left to chance, from our vines to the process of vinifying and blending our champagne wines.

Our creations reflect our history and convictions, and seek to showcase an exceptional terroir. We produce rare, sophisticated wines.

Our Soutiran Grand Cru champagnes stand out with their spirit, depth and beautiful uniqueness.
Our elegant, charming champagnes are a joy to drink on any occasion. They are designed for both brand-new explorers and the most knowledgeable of connoisseurs."

They make their champagnes  in Ambonnay, a Grand Cru village on the hillsides of Montagne de Reims. Located on the south-eastern slope of Montagne de Reims, Ambonnay is one of the most famous Champagne villages to hold the Grand Cru appellation.

This prestigious distinction was awarded for the quality of its chalky soils and for its sunny aspect, helping our terroir’s two iconic grape varieties to flourish:

Pinot Noir, a naturally powerful grape variety, here offers up the finesse and minerality of chalk.

Chardonnay, originally a lively and taut grape, acquires rounded, deep and generous aromas thanks to its sunny aspect on the southern hillsides.

Their vineyard is unique thanks to its hillside location. The structure of the chalky soils and the exposure to the Champagne sun differ enormously from one plot to the next. Vines of varying ages and grape varieties all flourish here at their own pace. They strive to ensure committed, responsible winegrowing, so forego insecticides and weedkillers.

All of this put together is what makes our terroir so varied. The diversity of our plots creates a range of tailored  creations and exponential aromatic potential.

"For three generations, we have held the same passion for wine and sought to preserve the inimitable style of Soutiran Grand Cru champagnes.

Our characterful wines forcefully and authentically express the nature of Ambonnay. These are passionate wines that whisk you away to their world. They are also wines of emotion that subtly unveil their aromatic signature: a footprint, a family, a company, a terroir, a style."
