Cattier
s a family-owned champagne house
situated in the village Chigny-les-Roses in the Montagne de Reims part
of Champagne, France. The Cattier Family have been vineyard owners since
1763, and started to produce champagnes under their own name in 1918.
Cattier owns 20 hectares of vineyards, which are mainly classified as
Premier Cru on the village-based Champagne classification scale Autre
Cru — Premier Cru — Grand Cru.
Cattier produces a
number of champagnes ranging in varietal composition from 100%
Chardonnay (a Blanc de blancs) to 75% dark-skinned pinots (noir and
meunier) and 25% Chardonnay.
Cattier is also noted for producing several champagnes in
spectacular bottles, such as a blue glass bottle with a pewter label, a
red glass bottle (under the designation "Red Kiss"), a gold-plated
bottle designed by Pascal Morabito (under the designation Brut Sésame
Millésimée), and a transparent bottle (under the designation Brut Quartz
1er Cru). The content of the spectacular bottles is in some cases
Cattier's standard champagne, and in other cases a limited special cuvée. |
