Lallier : Blanc de Blancs Grand cru

A delicate and generous Brut Blanc de Blancs champagne

The producer

Located in the heart of Aÿ, one of the 17 Champagne villages to be classified as a Grand Cru, the Lallier Champagne House has been writing its history since its foundation by René Lallier in 1906. In his constant quest for excellence, Réné-James Lallier, the founder's grandson, started a new page in the history of the house by carrying out major modernisation work on the wine-making facilities in 1996. In 2004, Francis Tribaut, a passionate Champagne producer who advises other great names in Champagne, acquired the Lallier House.

Lallier wines are renowned for their finesse and their authentic expression of the richness of the most beautiful terroirs of Champagne.
