Quality since 1989
In 1989, Christophe Galez had recently graduated from university, and his business course had brought him to London for two years.
In his native Champagne region, he meets Alain Thiénot, an already accomplished entrepreneur in Reims who set up his own Champagne House in 1985.
By 1989 Champagne Thiénot was going from strength to strength, and setting up a branch in the UK would contribute to the international development of this young House.
Champagnes and Chateaux was born.
More than 30 years on, Alain Thiénot is still Chairman of his flourishing family business, supported by his children Stanislas and Garance, who joined him in the early 2000s. Their boutique wineries in Champagne, Bordeaux and California enjoy tremendous success worldwide.
Meanwhile, Christophe and his team proudly celebrated the 30th birthday of C&C in 2019, which has become a leading specialist wine merchant in the UK over time.
After over 34 years, our focus remains unchanged at Champagnes and Châteaux – working with small family-owned producers and selling quality wines to our customers.
