List of producers present on our stand:

Belgium:

• Mont des Anges: Founded in 2016 through the partnership of a Champagne winemaker and a Belgian entrepreneur, this 12-hectare vineyard produces six cuvées using four Champagne grape varieties. The plots are located in three villages south of Mons, featuring exceptional chalk and flint terroirs. Their Blanc de Blancs 2021 was awarded a gold medal by the CMB in 2024.

Bulgaria:

• Vinex Slavyantsi: Located in the Rose Valley, this historic estate is one of Bulgaria’s largest wine producers, built on a tradition spanning over 1,000 years. With more than 750 hectares of vineyards, the winery enjoys a climate similar to that of Burgundy, France.

France:

• Champagne Fourrier : The Philippe FOURRIER Champagne House is a family-run estate located in the village of Baroville, in the Côte des Bar, in the southern part of the Champagne wine region. This house has been passionately passing down the legacy of viticulture for five generations. The vineyards are primarily planted with Pinot Noir, an emblematic grape variety of the region, but you can also find Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier, and the rare Pinot Blanc.

• Champagne Jacques Chaput, a free spirit in a bottle. A blend of tradition and modernity. Their house has adopted the Salamander, royal emblem of François 1st accompanied by the motto : “Nutrisco & Extinguo” (I feed it and extinguish it), which can be interpreted as : “I feed the good fire and I extinguish the bad“. Share the fire that drives them.
  
• Château Franc Couplet : the farm has existed since 1998. They have been keen to progress and improve quality both in the vineyard and in the cellar. Obtaining recognition for their wines through medals at national and international competitions has been our motivation for over 25 years. The only way: always and again improve the quality of their wines. Château Les Ricaudelles is their latest acquisition on the estate. They wanted it to be different so they modified the grape varieties by planting Malbec. This wine, with spicy aromas and chocolate notes, pleased the jurors of the CMB.

Spain:

Masterfully working with the Pinot Noir and Cabernet Sauvignon varieties since 1985, at the beginning of the last decade, Alta Pavina began crafting wines with local varieties, but in a way that was completely unorthodox. Time proved them right, and nowadays, their vision sets trends.
