Printemps des Champagnes

The essential meeting place for Champagne professionals

Le Printemps des Champagnes has established itself as one of the major events on the Champagne wine calendar. Every April, this week of exceptional tastings brings together key players in the wine world in Reims and the surrounding region: wine merchants, sommeliers, restaurateurs, importers, journalists, and influencers. It is a unique opportunity to discover the latest vintages and new cuvées from Champagne producers all in one place.

The different Champagne families united

The event brings together the various components of the Champagne sector: the great Champagne Houses, independent growers, cooperatives, and Champagne artisans. Each group organizes its own tastings, allowing professional visitors to compare styles and terroirs. Thematic tastings highlight the diversity of the appellation, from Blanc de Blancs to Rosés, from Brut Nature to prestige cuvées.

Exceptional venues

The tastings take place in prestigious, historic locations. The Demeure des Comtes de Champagne, a Taittinger property located on Rue de Tambour in Reims, is one of the emblematic sites of the event. Built in the 13th century, this residence served as the residence for the Counts of Champagne during royal coronations. Other remarkable venues in Reims and the Champagne region also host tastings throughout the week.

International reach

Le Printemps des Champagnes attracts professionals from all over the world, contributing to the international influence of the Champagne appellation. The meetings between producers and buyers, the exchanges between enthusiasts, and the gustatory discoveries make this event a privileged moment for understanding the trends and evolution of the Champagne vineyards.
