From vines planted by their family generations ago in 1746, brothers Fernand and Gaston Chiquet came together and created their House. They were pioneers in Champagne, among the very first winemakers to take the initiative, bold at the time, to keep their grapes, turn them into Champagne and sell their own product. In 1923, they were awarded their first medal in PARIS, then their gold medal in Epernay.
