#29 EPC Champagne with Co-Founder, Jérôme Queige

About this episode

The episode features an interview with Jérôme Queige, co-founder of EPC Champagne, discussing the innovative approach to Champagne that emphasizes transparency and storytelling.

There’s a quiet shift unfolding in Champagne - and it’s beingled by a new generation willing to question the very foundations of the category. EPC Champagne is a new voice in that movement. Founded in 2019, EPC is reimagining what non-vintage Champagne can be - placing transparency,traceability, and the people behind the wine at the centre of the conversation. Every bottle tells a story: where the fruit comes from, whofarmed it, how it was blended, and why it tastes the way it does. It’s a philosophy that challenges the long-held mystique of ‘house style’ and instead invites drinkers into a deeper, more informed relationship with champagne. But beyond the detail, there’s something more radical atplay - a desire to strip away the formality and return champagne to something instinctive and joyful. Today, we explore what happens when tradition meets a newkind of honesty with EPC’s co-founder, Jérôme Queige.
