Defects in quality

Defects in the quality of the product are to be reported in writing to contact@maisonchampagne.ch immediately after receipt of the goods. Deviations in quantity, weight and especially in the case of broken bottles must be certified to the respective carrier (The post – Vinolog).

​If the notification of quality defects is justified, a subsequent or replacement delivery will be made free of charge. If a vintage is sold out, we automatically deliver the next one.

Return or refund

Any bottle with a quality defect (cork or otherwise) will be replaced or credited within 4 weeks of return if returned immediately (email to: contact@maisonchampagne.ch).

​After the online purchase, the customer cannot cancel or return the order if it no longer meets the customer's wishes.

​In Switzerland, the right of withdrawal only exists if the seller grants it on his own initiative. In this case, the online shop must explicitly state this in its conditions. Swiss law does not guarantee customers the right to change their mind and return a product after an online purchase.
