President of the Syndicat Général des Vignerons and co-president of the Comité Champagne, Maxime Toubart
« praised these results as a reward for the efforts of the Champagne producers to maintain the position of
Champagne as an outstanding wine ».
David Chatillon, president of the Union des Maisons de Champagne and co-president of the Comité
Champagne, considered that « Champagne, as the supreme wine of celebrations, had been the natural choice
of the world’s consumers as they rejoiced at the end of lock-downs and rediscovered a taste for parties, for
going out and travelling ».
The results for 2022 show how Champagne, having quickly recovered from the shock of the 2020 health crisis,

has remained in the hearts and minds of the consumers. And the sunny 2022 harvest, which was remarkable
both for its quantity and quality, is going to play a role in rebuilding stocks to meet market demand.
Global geopolitical and economic circumstances may encourage a prudent outlook for 2023, but the
Champagne growers and houses remain confident in the basic health of their business
