Cheurlin Champagne was first established in 1788 in the Aube region of France. The Cheurlin family consist of nine generations of dedicated growers and farmers, which have built a reputation for producing excellent grapes. Thomas Cheurlin, who is the winemaker, had a vision for his family name to be synonymous with one of the best Champagnes in the world. Thomas Cheurlin was able to fulfill his dream of bringing his product to the United States, with the help of NBA Hall of Fame player Isiah Thomas. With Isiah Thomas now as an owner, Cheurlin Champagne is the only certified minority-owned Champagne in the World.
