Unlike the grandes maisons whose roots stretch back to the 18th and 19th centuries, EPC Champagne was founded in the 21st century with a distinctly modern philosophy—one that seeks to bridge heritage with innovation and transparency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"542\" data-end=\"1100\"\u003eThe name “EPC” stands for \u003cem data-start=\"568\" data-end=\"595\"\u003e“Élaboré Par Coopérative”\u003c\/em\u003e (crafted by cooperatives), highlighting a central pillar of the brand’s identity. Rather than owning extensive vineyard holdings or operating as a traditional négociant house, \u003cstrong\u003eEPC collaborates closely with a network of grower cooperatives across Champagne.\u003c\/strong\u003e These cooperatives, long responsible for producing high-quality fruit and base wines, often worked behind the scenes supplying larger houses. EPC’s model brings their expertise to the forefront, giving visibility to the growers and their terroirs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1102\" data-end=\"1718\"\u003eFounded in the late 2010s, \u003cstrong\u003eEPC Champagne was created with the aim of modernising the way Champagne is presented and consumed.\u003c\/strong\u003e The founders recognised a shift in consumer behaviour—towards authenticity, traceability and a desire to understand where products come from. In response, EPC built its identity around transparency. \u003cstrong\u003eEach cuvée is clearly labelled with information about grape varieties, dosage levels and, importantly, the specific cooperative or terroir involved in its production\u003c\/strong\u003e. This level of openness contrasts with the more traditional, often secretive blending practices of historic Champagne houses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1720\" data-end=\"2129\"\u003eAnother defining feature of EPC Champagne’s history is its \u003cstrong\u003eemphasis on customisation and accessibility.\u003c\/strong\u003e The brand allows consumers, sommeliers and businesses to personalise labels and create bespoke cuvées for events or private collections. This approach has \u003cstrong\u003eresonated strongly with a younger, more experience-driven audience\u003c\/strong\u003e, positioning EPC as a forward-thinking and flexible player in the Champagne market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2131\" data-end=\"2614\"\u003eDespite its modern ethos, EPC remains deeply rooted in the classical methods that define Champagne production. All wines are produced using the traditional method (méthode champenoise), involving secondary fermentation in bottle and extended lees ageing. The brand works with the classic Champagne grape varieties—Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Meunier—ensuring that, while the presentation may be contemporary, the quality and authenticity remain firmly aligned with regional standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2616\" data-end=\"3017\"\u003eEPC Champagne has also embraced digital innovation as part of its evolution. From direct-to-consumer sales channels to interactive experiences, the brand leverages technology to connect more directly with its audience. This has helped it gain traction not only in France but also in international markets, particularly among hospitality professionals and private clients seeking something distinctive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3019\" data-end=\"3394\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eIn essence, the history of EPC Champagne is less about centuries of legacy and more about redefining what Champagne can be in a modern context.

Fresh red berries lead — wild strawberry, raspberry and a hint of redcurrant — layered with citrus peel and a soft floral lift.

Juicy red berry fruits glide across the palate — strawberry, cranberry and a touch of pomegranate — supported by crisp acidity and a fine, creamy mousse. There’s a subtle citrus edge that adds lift, while a lightly savoury, pastry note from lees ageing brings depth. The finish is fresh, dry and quietly persistent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"1el6ytq\" data-start=\"1240\" data-end=\"1258\"\u003eFood Pairing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1259\" data-end=\"1325\"\u003eA versatile rosé that moves effortlessly from aperitif to table:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"1327\" data-end=\"1559\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1esryug\" data-start=\"1327\" data-end=\"1361\"\u003eTuna tartare or salmon sashimi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"ib52ep\" data-start=\"1362\" data-end=\"1408\"\u003eDuck breast with cherry or raspberry glaze\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"9u4rag\" data-start=\"1409\" data-end=\"1433\"\u003eProsciutto and melon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"9te8wu\" data-start=\"1434\" data-end=\"1462\"\u003eRoast chicken with herbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"dp112q\" data-start=\"1463\" data-end=\"1511\"\u003eMediterranean salads with grilled vegetables\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1ij3mat\" data-start=\"1512\" data-end=\"1559\"\u003eSoft cheeses and lightly aged goat’s cheese\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1561\" data-end=\"1718\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eServe well chilled, but not overly cold — this is a rosé that reveals more as it opens, balancing freshness, texture and just the right amount of indulgence.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EPC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56584093925700,"sku":"GW6462","price":49.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0774\/3058\/7716\/files\/EPCBLancRose.png?v=1774948761"},{"product_id":"epc-blanc-de-blancs-grand-cru","title":"EPC BLanc de Blancs Grand Cru","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"125\" data-end=\"395\"\u003eThis is EPC stepping into a more serious register.

Citrus sits at the core — lemon zest, grapefruit peel — backed by crisp green apple and subtle white peach. There’s a pronounced chalky minerality, almost saline in nature, reflecting its Grand Cru origins. With air, the wine broadens to reveal toasted brioche, almond skin and a delicate hint of white flowers, adding depth without losing focus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"l3isbv\" data-start=\"986\" data-end=\"998\"\u003ePalate\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"999\" data-end=\"1498\"\u003ePrecise, linear and quietly powerful. The attack is driven by citrus and green orchard fruit, carried by a taut line of acidity that gives the wine its backbone. The mousse is ultra-fine, lending a creamy texture that softens the edges without diluting the structure. Mid-palate, a mineral intensity builds — chalk, crushed stone, a touch of salinity — before giving way to subtle pastry and nutty notes from lees ageing. The finish is long, dry and poised, with a lingering citrus and mineral echo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"1el6ytq\" data-start=\"1500\" data-end=\"1518\"\u003eFood Pairing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1519\" data-end=\"1602\"\u003eThis is a gastronomic Champagne that thrives with refined, flavour-driven dishes:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"1604\" data-end=\"1842\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"ej5h32\" data-start=\"1604\" data-end=\"1637\"\u003eOysters, caviar and shellfish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"hxchvy\" data-start=\"1638\" data-end=\"1667\"\u003eLobster with beurre blanc\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1vqzamf\" data-start=\"1668\" data-end=\"1710\"\u003eTurbot or Dover sole with lemon butter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1tjion1\" data-start=\"1711\" data-end=\"1751\"\u003eRoast chicken with morels or truffle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"cvdz8\" data-start=\"1752\" data-end=\"1792\"\u003eParmesan, Comté or aged hard cheeses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"lbk90y\" data-start=\"1793\" data-end=\"1842\"\u003eLight cream-based dishes with subtle richness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1844\" data-end=\"2014\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eServe well chilled but allow it to open in the glass — this is a Blanc de Blancs that reveals its layers slowly, delivering precision, elegance and a true sense of place.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EPC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56584492384580,"sku":"GW6463","price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0774\/3058\/7716\/files\/EPCBLancDeBlancGrandCru.png?v=1774951748"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.thegrapewizard.co.uk\/collections\/epc.oembed","provider":"The Grape Wizard and The Sommelier","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
