History

Juglar was a Champagne house founded in Châlons-en-Champagne in the late 18th century and absorbed into Jacquesson & Fils in 1832, when Adolphe Jacquesson and his brother Memmie bought the firm. The Juglar archive, equipment and stock were folded into Jacquesson's operation in Châlons (and later Dizy), and the Juglar name disappeared from active commercial release for the rest of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

Revival

The Juglar label was revived in the early 2010s by Champagne Aubry of Jouy-lès-Reims as a separate brand, using the historical name. The current Juglar bottlings are entirely distinct from the original house — same name, no continuity of cellar, fruit or team — but the brand's lineage to the absorbed 18th-century maison is the marketing thread.
