Founded in 1906 in Aÿ, a village classified Grand Cru in Champagne, Lallier has forged a reputation for excellence thanks to its commitment to quality and the pure expression of its terroir. This village, located on Montagne de Reims, is renowned for its exceptional grapes, particularly Pinot Noir.
Which grape varieties and crus does Lallier favor?
Lallier focuses on two major grape varieties: Pinot Noir, for structure and power, and Chardonnay, for elegance and freshness. The grapes come mainly from Grands Crus and Premiers Crus, guaranteeing impeccable quality and a precise expression of the Champagne terroir.
What are the winemaking specifics at Lallier?
The house adopts a parcel-by-parcel approach, vinifying grapes separately to pRéserver the unique characteristics of each terroir. Malolactic fermentation is partial, retaining a certain liveliness while adding complexity. What's more, the cuvées benefit from prolonged ageing on fine lees in chalky cellars, often beyond the minimum requirements, which favours the development of tertiary aromas and texture on the palate.
What are Lallier's emblematic cuvées?
Lallier offers remarkable cuvées that reflect its expertise and the expression of its exceptional terroirs. Among them, Blanc de blancs, made exclusively from Chardonnay, seduces with its minerality and finesse. The Brut nature, with no dosage, highlights the purity and vivacity of noble grape varieties.

The Lallier Réflexion R.021 Rosé embodies a contemporary approach to blending a Champagne Rosé, combining the House's four signatures - purity, freshness, intensity and depth - with a delicate structure provided by the Pinot Noir tannins of Bouzy.
This Champagne is made from 70% of the 2021 harvest, a year marked by difficult weather conditions but saved by a mild late summer, giving rise to fine, elegant, airy wines.
The blend is dominated by Pinot Noir (53%), including 7% reds from the Bouzy terroir, complemented by 41% Chardonnay from Côte des blancs, and 6% Meunier. Aged 36 months on lees, it has a pale pink color with luminous highlights.
The nose reveals aromas of blood orange and kumquat, supported by notes of red berries, evolving towards more mature accents of brioche and fresh hazelnut. On the palate, the attack is pure and iodized, followed by the power of Pinot Noir and the roundness of Meunier, while a slight bitterness on the finish accentuates the wine's freshness and depth.
With a dosage of 7 g/L, this Champagne Extra-Brut is best served between 10°C and 12°C in a glass between a flute and a wine glass to enhance its effervescence and aromas. Perfect for a refined aperitif, it goes wonderfully with mushroom canapés, noble shellfish such as langoustine or king crab, and fatty fish such as seaweed-smoked salmon. A structured, complex Champagne, both bright and refined, ideal for celebrating great moments.
