Pierre Gimonnet & Fils is a grower Champagne house with more vineyard acreage in the Côte des Blancs than any other recoltant manipulant or grower. Spanning 69 acres!
The Gimonnets have many old-vine parcels in 30 acres of some of the Côte des Blancs’ choicest grands crus, but the house makes no Champagnes that meet grand cru regulations. Instead, they consciously choose to blend from different sites in order to craft their desired style. All of their reserve wines used for their NV are housed in bottles rather than the more common practice of keeping reserve wines in tanks.
Taittinger is one of Champagne’s great houses. It was founded in 1734 by Jacques Fourneaux in Reims whose vision grew into the large company it is today. The Taittinger family has managed the Champagne House for nearly a century. Its aim has always been the pursuit of excellence. “Having our family name on a bottle places demands and responsibilities on every minute. The name on the bottle conveys both the skills and knowledge of the past and a commitment to the future”. Pierre Emmanuel Taittinger has embodied this commitment for over 40 years. His son, Clovis and his daughter, Vitalie who both worked beside him in the day to day running of the Champagne House made a very close-knit and complementary family trio. As of 2019 Vitalie Taittinger stepped in as the company’s president, taking over for her father, Pierre-Emmanuel. Brother Clovis was announced as the new General Manager and the Director of Marketing and Sales worldwide.
With 288 hectares of vines, the Taittinger family is amongst the largest vineyard owners in Champagne. The vineyard is planted to all three Champagne grapes Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier distributed equally across 37 highly-rated vineyards. Taittinger Champagne is characterized by its high proportion of Chardonnay in the blend. The house produces a few styles; both non vintage as well as exceptional vintage dated Champagnes.

Owned and operated by the four Sichel brothers and one of the brother’s two sons, Maison Sichel dates as far back as 1883 where the family moved from Britain to Bordeaux and set up their office; the original location at 19 Quai de Bacalan is where their current headquarters still sits today. Back then, Sichel was more concerned with procuring wines for places like Mainz, London, and New York, operating as a wine merchant but fast forward a couple of decades and the 20th century sees the family acquiring Châteaus all over France such as Château Angludet, Château Argadens, and now-famous Château Palmer- beginning the journey of wine merchants to winemakers. With expansion to China via the opening of another sales office in 2008, Maison Sichel has certainly made a name for themselves in the winemaking business.

Founded in 1886, the Erdinger Brewery – dedicated to the brewing of wheat beer and wheat beer only – resides in the quaint Bavarian town of Erding, 30 minutes northeast of Munich. Erdinger Weissbier pioneered the awareness and consumption of wheat beer outside of the Bavarian region where it has its roots, remaining in strict compliance with the Bavarian purity law and secondary fermentation that have history and tradition in the region. Erdinger Weissbeer continues to be the world’s largest producer of wheat beer, and one of the last remaining privately owned breweries, still owned and operated by the Brombach family today.

At the early part of the 20th century, after spending months discovering new flavors while travelling around India, Pierre, the third generation of Domaine du Coquerel family, returned to business school but couldn’t forget the unqiue flavours and experiences he had while travelling. After years of working in France and in the United States where he explored hundreds of different spirits he fell in love with the versatile canvas that is gin.
He later joined the family distillery producing Calvados, Pommeau and Cidre but he was still thinking about the exotic flavours of his travels and his desire to produce a gin. In 1937 the family began developing their own signature gin and found inspiration in an old family book dated from 1765 called “La Chymie du Goût et de l’Odorat” containing a recipe for a juniper distillate which was loved by Louis XV – King of France. By fusing the experiences from his travels with his family’s rich history in distilling, Pierre had created a truly one of a kind gin: Normindia.
