Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before your project

Can a private individual purchase a Champagne vineyard plot?

Yes, but under viticulturist status (SAFER qualification plus specific declarations). Non-winemakers lease the land to a négociant or cooperative, generating rental income.

What is the return on a Champagne vineyard property?

For plot leasing: 4-6% gross (vineyard land rent). For direct operation (winemaking): potentially 12-25% gross, but requires expertise and cellar investment.

Why is Reims such a discreet market?

The négociant house market is closed: 4 to 6 transactions per year over €2 million. Ownership is mostly passed down within families. Our firm accesses the market via two partner notaries in Reims and one in Épernay.
