Style
The Tsarine line is built around bright, fruit-driven NV bruts and rosés, with a vintage cuvée (Tsarine Cuvée Premium Vintage) declared in selected years. The assemblages lean Chardonnay across the range — a deliberate light, aperitif-oriented house signature that the gold-engraved bottle visually echoes.
History
Tsarine is the Champagne brand of Chanoine Frères, the Reims house founded in 1730 — historically one of the oldest in the Champagne region. The Tsarine label itself was created in 1991 and named in homage to the Russian imperial court, which had been an important market for Chanoine in the nineteenth century. Chanoine Frères was acquired by the Lanson-BCC group in 1991; Tsarine remains the group's lifestyle-oriented label distinct from the more traditional Lanson and Boizel.
