de Venoge

History

The house writes that the de Venoge family came from Switzerland and that Henri-Marc de Venoge settled in Champagne in 1825, then founded de Venoge & Cie in Épernay with his son Joseph in 1837.¹ According to the house, it introduced an illustrated colour label in 1838 and took the Cordon Bleu as its emblem in 1851; the cuvée des Princes dates from 1858.¹ Under Gaëtan de Venoge, president from 1866, exports grew, notably to the United States, and in 1882 the house was a founding member of the Syndicat des Grandes Marques de Champagne.¹

In 1998 de Venoge joined the Boizel Chanoine Champagne group.¹ The Louis XV cuvée was launched in 2005 and is named after the king whose decree allowed Champagne wine to be transported in bottles.¹ In 2015 the house moved to 33 avenue de Champagne.¹ It says it keeps a library of nearly 20,000 vintage bottles.¹
