Discover more about Château de Boursault

Nestled in the heart of the Champagne region, the Château de Boursault is a testament to the enduring legacy of Madame Clicquot, the visionary behind the renowned Veuve Clicquot Champagne. Built between 1843 and 1850, this neo-Renaissance château was commissioned by Madame Clicquot as a gift to her daughter and granddaughter. The architecture, inspired by the Château de Chambord in the Loire Valley, features 365 windows and doors. Over the years, the château has passed through several hands, serving as a military hospital during both World Wars. In 1927, the Fringhian family acquired the estate, continuing the tradition of Champagne production. Today, Champagne Château de Boursault is one of the few Champagne houses that bottles its champagne directly on the estate, maintaining an artisanal process passed down through four generations. The 13-hectare vineyard is planted with the three traditional Champagne grape varietals: Meunier, Pinot Noir, and Chardonnay. Visitors to the Château de Boursault can immerse themselves in the world of Champagne with cellar tours and tastings. Explore the historic cellars, learn about the Champagne-making process, and sample a selection of the estate's finest cuvées. The château's park offers beautiful views of the Marne Valley.
