Champagne, France
Our Story
Across four generations, the family's passion for wine has defined their story. It all began in the early 20th century when René Schloesser, a young Luxembourg farmer, sought a new life in Champagne and crossed paths with Lucie Coutelas, a fellow farmer from Romery. In 1927, they wed, and when economic woes gripped France, they boldly started making and selling their own champagne with just 1,000 bottles, personally delivered by René on his bicycle to the railway that led to the Parisian market. After WWII, their maison thrived, reaching 5,000 bottles by 1950, as Suzanne, their daughter, wed Jean Tribaut, merging their vineyard holdings in Romery, Cormoyeux, and Fleury la Rivière marking the inception of the brand we now know as CHAMPAGNE TRIBAUT-SCHLOESSER.
Today, 4th generation brothers, Sébastien and Valentin, continue the tradition of crafting fine champagnes. They boast seven foudres and approximately twenty barrels, all at their disposal for the meticulous aging of their reserve wines. This process ensures that our wines mature in the unmistakable TRIBAUT style, a tradition that has been faithfully passed down through four generations of their family.
Their vineyards are primarily situated in the picturesque villages of Romery, Cormoyeux, and Fleury la Rivière, nestled along the Marne Valley and the Montagne de Reims. Perched on south/southeast-facing hillsides with clay-limestone soils, their vineyards are home to exquisite Pinot Meunier and remarkably surprising Chardonnay grapes. Additionally, they proudly maintain vineyards in the renowned village of Aÿ, classified as Grand Cru and celebrated for its exceptional Pinot Noir.
