Lallier : R.018 Brut

The freshness and precision of a Brut champagne with an alluring smoothness and richness

The producer

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

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