The December 2024 and November 2025 bottle accounts establish that product and period; they do not disclose every grower, bottling site or later batch supplier. [2] [3]

Who owns Kirkland Champagne?

Costco Wholesale owns the Kirkland Signature private label. [1]

Costco’s annual report identifies Kirkland Signature as its private label. That makes Costco the retail brand owner, while the bottle-specific producer is a separate business. The answer here concerns Kirkland Brut Champagne rather than all Kirkland sparkling wines. [1] [2] [3]

Who actually makes Kirkland Champagne products?

The December 2024 bottle review identifies Manuel Janisson for Kirkland Signature Brut Champagne. A November 2025 firsthand newspaper account independently states that the reviewed bottle identifies Manuel Janisson as producer. These are dated bottle accounts, not a claim that one producer makes every Kirkland wine. [2] [3]

Where are Kirkland Champagne products made?

The reviewed wine is identified as Champagne from France. No exact production-building address or complete grape-grower list was confirmed in these sources. A producer name and regional origin should not be expanded into an invented vineyard or a supposedly Costco-owned French winery. [3] [2]

Is Kirkland Champagne made in China or the USA?

French Champagne origin is supported for the reviewed bottles. Costco’s American ownership of the label does not make this US-produced Champagne. No Chinese production relationship is established, and the origin of other Kirkland sparkling wines must be checked separately. [1] [3]

Same factory, different label

The common Kirkland label links Costco’s wines commercially, rather than proving one winery or one recipe. Neither bottle account establishes that this is identical to a named prestige Champagne. No unconfirmed ownership connection or grape-purchasing arrangement is added to the supply map. [1] [2] [3]

Where was your household bottle made?

A company address and a country of manufacture answer different questions. Start with your exact model.

  1. Check the package for a country-of-origin statement and lot number.
  2. Distinguish “distributed by” from an explicit manufacturer or origin statement.
  3. Contact the retailer with the exact product code and lot if the producer is not identified.
