Partner at Maison la Matrone

2020

Nestled in Reims, France, our maison is the creative heart of both our fine champagnes and collectables. The roots of Matrone champagnes trace back to the Grand Cru village of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger in the Côte des Blancs, where artistry and tradition converge to craft exceptional creations. Founded on the principles of exclusivity and meticulous detail, Matrone champagnes are offered exclusively at the world’s finest gastronomic venues and through allocation. Equally, our Matrone Collectables, crafted with the same dedication to artistry, bring elegance and refinement into the everyday, offering timeless moments to all who cherish sophistication. Through La Société, members have the opportunity to savour Matrone’s limited allocations and enjoy priority access to our collectables, embracing the full Maison la Matrone experience. Launching in 2026, Maison La Matrone is more than a house of fine champagne—it is an invitation to a world of extraordinary experiences, promising moments of unmatched delight and sophistication.
