standout evolving with each generation
about Arnaud Margaine is the fourth-generation winemaker in his family, having taken over from his father Bernard in 1989. The estate, which is just 6.5ha, was founded in the 1920s and Bernard did a great deal to found the reputation as one of the pre-eminent grower-producers. Arnaud has continued his father's progress by focusing on improved vineyard practices as well as careful winemaking. These are some of the most elegantly delicious champagnes you're likely to taste.
