100% Chardonnay from exclusively Grand Cru parcels. The blend draws 60% from Aÿ (Grand Cru, Vallée de la Marne) — chalky hillside sites that bring unusual mineral intensity and body to the wine, rare for a Blanc de Blancs — and 40% from three Côte des Blancs Grand Crus: Avize, Cramant and Oger. Non-vintage with 30% reserve wines. Partial malolactic fermentation preserves the vivid acidity and freshness of the Chardonnay.

Maison Lallier, founded 1906 in Aÿ and owned by Campari Group since 2020. Chef de cave Dominique Demarville previously spent 13 years as chef de cave at Veuve Clicquot. Aged 36–48 months on lees, dosed at 8 g/L.

Learn more about Champagne Lallier

René Lallier founded the house in 1906 in Aÿ, after marrying into a Champenois family.

Aÿ sits in the Marne valley and is one of the villages classified as grand cru. It is worth knowing what that mention means on a Champagne label, because it is not the same as in Burgundy: there a grand cru is a specific plot, whereas here it is the whole village that is classified, and the term may only be used if all the fruit comes from vineyards in grand cru villages.

The house's vineyard runs to just over fifteen hectares, most of it around Aÿ and in grands crus.

René-James Lallier, the founder's grandson, thoroughly modernised the facilities from 1996. In 2004 the house was bought by Francis Tribaut, a Champenois who also advises other houses in the region. Since 2020 it has belonged to Campari, with Dominique Demarville as general manager and cellar master.
