Description
A fresh and fruity Rosé Champagne
The estate
Located in the heart of Aÿ, one of the 17 Champagne villages classified as Grand Cru, the Champagne Lallier House has been writing its story since it was founded by René Lallier in 1906. In a constant pursuit of excellence, René-James Lallier, grandson of the founder, turned a new page in the house’s history by carrying out major modernization work on the winemaking facilities starting in 1996. In 2004, Francis Tribaut, a passionate Champagne native who also advises other renowned Champagne houses, acquired Maison Lallier.
The vineyard
Lallier's cuvées are renowned for their finesse and for authentically expressing the richness of the finest Champagne terroirs.

Pinot Noir and Chardonnay undergo a warm maceration, allowing for optimal and exclusive extraction of color, not tannins. This cuvée is vinified using the house’s own yeasts. Partial malolactic fermentation. The wine is aged for a minimum of 3 years in cellars. Disgorgement takes place about 4 months before release. The dosage is 8 g/liter with a liqueur prepared in oak barrels.
Blend
This Brut Grand Cru cuvée is a blend of Pinot Noir (65%) and Chardonnay (35%).
