The story
The founders met in 2018 and shaped the project that became Champagne EPC; the house acquired its premises in Vindey upon its founding in 2019. From the start EPC has worked with local winegrowers, offering a collaborative model to create traceable cuvées, with the aim of showcasing the individual terroirs of Champagne.
