Made with chardonnay from California this vinegar would be a blanc de blancs if it were a champagne. Luckily it is not, it is better. It is slow fermented in small batches using a unique process from the early 1800s and aged in 25-gallon American oak barrels.

Our Better Than Champagne Vinegar is just that. It is not champagne vinegar, it is its' better cousin from across the pond and we couldn’t be happier with how this little upstart turned out.
Naming Note: Why don't we call it Champagne vinegar? We told you- it's better... AND we strive to make vinegars with a sense of place and that respect that sense of place in other foods. Champagne vinegar should come from the Champagne region of France. Our vinegar is made from traditional champagne grapes (ie chardonnay) but it is made in our vinegar works in New England, not France. This beautiful vinegar reflects the American wine tradition and builds on champagne-inspired vinegar flavor profiles.

Worth Waiting For
Modern vinegars have lost their way, so we stepped back in time to recreate a process from 1823. Our equipment doesn’t exist anymore so we remade it in partnership with local universities.
After slow fermentation our vinegars are barrel aged before being hand bottled raw and unfiltered. It all takes a lot more time and care but we think the results are spectacular. I hope you will too.
Vinegars with a Sense of Place
We create vinegars with flavor profiles that reflect a sense of place by working exclusively with American wines, ciders, and brews.
Our vinegar works is housed in the blacksmith shop for an old textile mill complex in the heart of New England that is on the National Register of Historic Places.
