A co-op comprised of 70+ multi-generational growers who have committed to biodyamic viticulture.

Champagne is often seen as one of the French wine regions most resistant to change. Champagne Chavost is a historic winery — created in 1946 — undertaking a project of reinvention, and is very much pushing the envelope about what is possible in Champagne today. 

The intention is not to go against the past simply for the sake of it, but to better honor the past generations who farmed this hillside with a true and honest reflection of its unique terroir. 

Champagne Chavost is a cooperative winery in the village of Chavot, currently led by the young and dynamic chef de caves Fabian Daviaux, who took over in 2019 at the young age of 30. Founded by an original group of 20 growers, the co-op is now comprised of over 70 multi-generational growers who have committed to Fabian’s preferred biodyamic viticulture (since 2023, 5 hectares of vines are certified organic), in turn creating beautifully pure, ripe and delicious Champagnes.

This feat shouldn't be overlooked: convincing many older growers to go in a completely new (and some would say, risky) direction was a bold decision on Fabian’s part.
