Champagne Cazé-Thibaut is located in Châtillon-sur-Marne, between Épernay and Château-Thierry. Fabien Cazé took over the family estate in 2007 but waited until 2013 to release his first vintage—allowing the soils and vines the necessary time to fully absorb the transition from conventional farming to a natural approach. Fabien has taken the time to craft Champagnes in his own image: a parcel-by-parcel philosophy built on observation and experimentation, constantly refining his understanding. It is an approach rooted in continual questioning and reassessment, always striving to reveal the living, expressive side of his high-slope terroirs where the bedrock breaks through the surface. We are delighted to introduce you to his work.
