About the wine
This trailblazing Champagne is all you need to get the party started
- Pierre is part of a 10 generation strong family of winemakers. With years of tradition and experience making Champagne with grapes from his different family vineyards under his belt, Pierre has started experimenting with exciting new ways of producing that keeps the highly coveted Champagne terroir as no.1.
- To make his Champagne Constantine Solarris, Pierre uses 100% Pinot Meunier, a lesser known grape used to make Champagne. In recent years Meunier has been rising up the ranks, turning the heads of critics and Champagne fanatics alike due to it's superior richness and round body.
- This tongue tingling fizz proves this fact case and point with it's stand out ripe fruit flavours and rich intensity. Suitably celebratory to the very last drop, this is a Champagne with oodles of length - you can rely upon this baby to not only get the party started, but also to keep it going.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Pierre Grandin
- Pierre officially became a winemaker back in 2012 but he's been a bit of dab with all things winemaking since the age of 12 when he would keep an eye on the cellar for his Dad. Most of his childhood memories are set against the backdrop of vines and stainless steel vats.
- Pierre is a true innovator and there's not a chance you'll find him resting on his laurels. He's always looking for new ways to bring technology together with the high-end selection of grapes from his thoroughly classy appellation, to make eye-popping Champagne that is totally out of this world.
- Pinot Meunier, one of the lesser known heroes when it comes to Champagne, is his favourite grape. Although Chardonnay and Pinot Noir tend to steal the spotlight, Pierre reckons that Meunier packs a bit of extra punch. It requires just that bit of extra technical TLC but when you have a winemaker like Pierre willing to put in the extra hours, the hard work pays off in bags of flavour.
