Golden Eagle Champagne G.H.Martel & C° 1967
The Golden Eagle Champagne is a Brut sparkling wine from the 1967 vintage, crafted by G.H.Martel & C°, a historic house founded in 1869. This specific 200 ml bottle, featuring an alcohol content of 11.8%, was originally distributed by the exclusive Italian importer S.A.A.S. Milano.
Champagne is a world-renowned wine region located in northeastern France, approximately 150 kilometers east of Paris. Situated at the northernmost limit of commercial viticulture in the country, the area experiences a dual climate with both oceanic and continental influences. The defining feature of the region is its porous soil, consisting predominantly of chalk, limestone, and marl. This unique geological composition acts as a natural water reservoir during dry periods while effectively draining excess water and reflecting the sun's warmth back onto the vines.
The production of this wine follows the traditional méthode champenoise, where the secondary fermentation takes place entirely within the bottle. The foundation of Champagne's winemaking was refined as early as the 1600s by Benedictine monks, including Dom Pérignon. Today, the region's vineyards, historic cellars, and Champagne houses are recognized on the UNESCO World Heritage list. The appellation relies primarily on three grape varieties—Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier—cultivated across primary subregions such as Montagne de Reims, Vallée de la Marne, Côte des Blancs, and Côte des Bar.
The history of the wine

Champagne
Champagne in northern France gave its name to the world's most famous sparkling wine. As early as the 17th century, Benedictine monks such as Dom Pérignon refined the area's winemaking. Today the wine is made by bottle fermentation from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. The cool, chalky subsoil gives high acidity and finesse, which form the foundation of champagne's elegance and long ageing.
When this wine was made, the world looked very different. Here are some of the stories that unfolded while this bottle quietly aged in its cellar.
