Overview
G.H. Martel is a Champagne house located in Reims and operates as part of the Rapeneau family group. In September 2026, the house became a focal point of a new cultural initiative when Jean-Rémy Rapeneau launched a walking experience connecting G.H. Martel with fellow family-owned house Charles de Cazanove. The route guides visitors through Reims's urban landscape while linking the two champagne producers, positioning them as waypoints within a broader narrative of the family's heritage in the region.
Heritage
As a member of the Rapeneau family portfolio, G.H. Martel benefits from the group's long-standing presence in Reims. The house operates within the city's celebrated chalk cellar network—the crayères—which form part of Reims's UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The walking route initiative reflects a strategic approach to champagne tourism, treating the house not as an isolated destination but as part of a cohesive family narrative that bridges the city's street-level energy with its subterranean heritage.
