Get To Know Champagne Jacquart and Cellar Master Floriane Eznack

While most Champagne houses date back to the 1800s and early 1900s and are steeped in tradition, Champagne Jacquart is a young Champagne house. Started in 1964, they are celebrating their 50th anniversary. And, with that youth, they are not focused on the past but rather the future, making rules and setting tradition as they go. Champagne Jacquart is like a cooperative and is owned by 1800 grape growers. With vineyards that cover 2400 hectares, they own 7% of the vineyards in Champagne. Overseeing the direction of Champagne Jacquart is Cellar Master/Head Winemaker Floriane Eznack. With less than half a dozen female Cellar Masters in Champagne, at only 35 years old, Floriane is also the youngest Cellar Master in Champagne. Born in the Cognac area and after studying enology in Reims, Floriane spent four years at Veuve Clicquot before coming to Champagne Jacquart in 2011.
