Independent wine merchant in Epernay
Since 2011
Le 520 was born in 2011 from Pierre-Yves Cainjo’s passion for champagne and wine, driven by a clear ambition: to create an independent wine shop in Epernay offering a thoughtful, demanding selection open to the diversity of terroirs.
Over the years, Le 520 has become a place dedicated to sharing and discovering the great names of Champagne alongside wines from across France’s vineyards.
A story driven by a passion for terroir
The selection at Le 520 has been built around estates discovered, tasted and chosen with high standards in mind. Independent growers and renowned Champagne Houses alike earn their place in the shop when their work reflects strong identity, consistency and genuine craftsmanship.
Being a wine merchant in Epernay means living at the heart of Champagne terroirs and championing their diversity with care and discernment.
A vision centerd on guidance and experience
At Le 520, conversation is an essential part of the experience. Our role is to guide you, explain, compare and help refine your choices.
Whether you are a local wine enthusiast or visiting the Champagne region, whether you are looking for a specific champagne, a rare cuvée or the right bottle for a particular occasion, our advice is always personalized and independent.
A champagne selection meant to be shared
Today, the shop brings together a wide selection of champagnes representing the major terroirs of the Champagne region. This diversity allows you to better understand styles, compare expressions and discover new producers and Houses.
Our free Saturday tastings extend this philosophy, offering a direct opportunity to meet producers and explore the cuvées available at Le 520 in Epernay.
