Texier Champagne

In the heart of the Montagne de Reims, Verzenay is one of the most iconic villages in the Champagne wine-growing region — a landscape of pure chalk where Pinot Noir achieves a rare level of expression, in the shadow of the famous Verzenay Lighthouse. It is here that the Texier family cultivates its vineyards across a trio of communes classified exclusively as Grand Cru: Verzenay, Verzy and Sillery. This configuration — three Grand Cru appellations without exception — gives Texier champagnes a remarkable consistency of terroir. Blended from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, they combine the fruity power and mineral depth typical of the Montagne’s grands crus. Adrien Texier, son of the founder Jean-Michel, carries on this legacy through sustainable viticulture focused on the environmental challenges of the future.

The Texier vintages — the elegance of Grand Cru Pinot Noir

The Texier range comprises four distinct styles. The Brut Tradition (80% Pinot Noir, 20% Chardonnay) offers a rounded flavour and ripe fruit, making it ideal as an aperitif or with fine charcuterie. The Brut Réserve (70% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay), lively and well-structured, is perfect with roast poultry or a porcini mushroom risotto. The Brut Rosé, with its red fruit aromas, pairs beautifully with salmon tartare and fruity desserts. The Blanc de Blancs (100% Chardonnay), with notes of lemon and vanilla, perfectly complements oysters and scallops.

Texier champagnes should be served at 8–10 °C in a tulip-shaped glass to concentrate the aromas. Store them away from light, at a temperature of between 10 and 14 °C. The cuvées, dominated by Pinot Noir Grand Cru from Verzenay — a chalky terroir renowned for its age-worthy wines — gain in complexity with a few years’ cellaring after disgorgement.

Texier — an artisan winemaker in the heart of Verzenay

Texier is a family-run business founded by Jean-Michel Texier in Verzenay, in the heart of the Montagne de Reims — one of Champagne’s most sought-after appellations. Today, his son Adrien runs the estate, ensuring the continuity of expertise honed over generations. The vineyard spans three communes classified exclusively as Grand Cru: Verzenay, Verzy and Sillery, offering a terroir profile of rare richness in the Montagne de Reims.

In the vineyard, first Jean-Michel and then Adrien have opted for sustainable viticulture, mindful of natural balances and committed to addressing current and future environmental challenges. In the cellar, this approach translates into meticulous winemaking that preserves the expression of the Grand Cru terroirs: aromatic freshness, chalky minerality and depth on the palate.

What is the difference between a Grand Cru and a Premier Cru champagne?

In Champagne, 17 communes are classified as Grand Cru (100 per cent on the official scale) and 42 as Premier Cru (90–99 per cent). Grand Cru grapes exhibit superior concentration and minerality. Verzenay, Verzy and Sillery — the three communes comprising the Texier vineyard — are all classified as Grand Cru, a guarantee of uncompromising terroir.
