From Brooklyn Stoops to French Vineyards: The Spirit of B. Stuyvesant Champagne
In the world of fine wine, tradition is often seen as a gatekeeper. But at B. Stuyvesant Champagne, we believe that tradition is not a wall—it is a foundation. We have taken the centuries-old elegance of the Champagne region and infused it with the vibrant, unapologetic energy of Brooklyn to create a transformative experience that merges heritage with innovation.
The Art of the Craft
Our roots are firmly planted in the prestigious soil of France. Every bottle of B. Stuyvesant is meticulously crafted using the méthode champenoise, the time-honored process that has defined excellence for generations. By honoring these rigorous standards, we ensure that every pour preserves the legacy of French winemaking while offering a taste that is distinctly our own.
A Legacy Reimagined: The Brooklyn Connection
The name “B. Stuyvesant” is a love letter to Bedford-Stuyvesant, the Brooklyn neighborhood where our founder, Marvina Robinson, was born and raised. It serves as a constant reminder that greatness is not reserved for the elite; it often begins in the most unexpected places.
Our story didn’t begin in a boardroom or a sprawling chateau. It began on the iconic brownstone stoops of Brooklyn. During college breaks, Marvina and her closest friends would gather to share bottles of champagne, sipping from plastic cups and dreaming of the future. Those humble gatherings sparked a vision: to create a brand that possessed the quality of the grandest houses but the soul of the community that raised her.
Breaking the Glass Ceiling (and the Cork)
What truly distinguishes B. Stuyvesant is our unwavering commitment to inclusivity and empowerment. As a woman-owned and Black-owned business, we bring a necessary perspective to an industry that has long lacked diversity.
We are not just selling a beverage; we are leading a movement. We believe that champagne should be accessible to everyone, regardless of background or status. Our brand represents the belief that authenticity is the ultimate luxury, and that everyone deserves a seat at the table—or a spot at the bar.
From Eight Cuvées to a Flagship Experience
Today, that “plastic cup” dream has evolved into a powerhouse brand. We are proud to host a 2,000-square-foot tasting room at the historic Brooklyn Navy Yard, where we welcome a global community of enthusiasts. Our portfolio now boasts eight distinctive cuvées, ranging from crisp Bruts to elegant Rosés, each meticulously crafted to embody our commitment to excellence.
A New Era of Connection
At B. Stuyvesant, we embrace a harmonious coexistence with the established champagne houses of France. We aren’t here to replace the tapestry; we are here to weave our unique thread into it. As the preferences of the modern, discerning clientele evolve, we evolve with them—offering a brand that is as sophisticated as it is welcoming.
When you pop the cork on a bottle of B. Stuyvesant, you aren’t just indulging in the finest flavors of the Marne Valley. You are joining a community that celebrates diversity, champions resilience, and honors life’s moments—both the monumental and the everyday.
