The Turgy family has been crafting noble, grand cru Champagne on the chalky slopes of Le Mesnil since 1881.

Every vineyard winemaker Michel Turgy maintains is rated grand cru—yet after tasting his wines, you’re instantly convinced that a higher designation may be needed.

The family’s cellars, carved deep into Le Mesnil’s chalky soils, provide the perfect conditions for Turgy’s wide selection of base wines. He has more than 20 vintages stored away to create his non-vintage brut—a wealth of Champagne history that few other small houses can match.

We enjoy Turgy Champagne for its rich, creamy quality—this wine is also incredibly food-friendly.
