Jacky Charpentier

The Charpentiers have been growing Champagne grapes since 1920, with Jacky taking the reins at just 11 years old after his father died suddenly — a prodigious start that set the family estate on course to become one of the region's most respected grower-producers. Wines Direct has maintained a direct relationship with Jacky for many years, bringing his characterful, independently-made Champagnes to Ireland.
