Champagne J. Lassalle Brut 1er Cru Special Club, Chigny-Les-Roses, Montagne de Reims 2013
60% Pinot Noir, 40% Chardonnay
It was in 1942 in the heart of the Montagne de Reims, in the village of Chigny les Roses, that Champagne J. Lassalle was born with founder Jules Lassalle, grandfather of current winemaker Angéline Templier. When Jules died in 1982, his wife Olga and his daughter Chantal took over the reins of the House. These 3 generations of women are committed to perpetuating the style of Jules Lassalle.
The common thread through the generations is the elegance and finesse that characterize each bottling — a result of meticulous work in the vines and cellar.
The Spécial Club represents an elite association of growers who abide by such strict standards of quality, and the pedigree is evident with this 2012 release. It is a cellar selection of the estate’s best Chardonnay and Pinot Noir — a lively, gloriously textured Champagne exuding the class and refinement consistent with generations of family tradition.
