Jacques Lassaigne, an unadorned Champagne estate
In the south of Champagne, in Montgueux, in the Aube, the Jacques Lassaigne family estate has been tending its 4 hectares of vines since 1964. The chardonnay vines, averaging 40 years of age, flourish here amid the Côte des Bar where pinot noir remains dominant. This limestone hill with its cool climate, overlooking the Seine valley, has earned Montgueux the nickname of the Montrachet of Champagne, in reference to the famous hill of the same name in Burgundy.
Emmanuel Lassaigne took over the estate in 1999 following the principles of organic and biodynamic farming (non-certified). In the cellar, the desire for minimal intervention is applied: vinification is carried out with indigenous yeasts, and no sulphite or dosage liqueur is added after disgorgement. The Blanc de Blancs Emmanuel Lassaigne (son of Jacques) stands out for its elegant bubbles and suave profile, different from the wines of the Côte des Blancs, which are more taut and chiselled. Discover, among others, the cuvées Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut Les Vignes de Montgueux, the reference cuvée, a blend of plots delivering a fresh and appealing style — a delicious Champagne for aperitif; Le Champagne Le Cotet, a delicate, mineral and lemony wine from old vines; La cuvée Lassaigne La Colline Inspirée, with a more Burgundian profile, a Champagne aged in oak barrels for savoury notes of brioche and exotic fruits; a splendid treat, La cuvée de Champagne Jacques Lassaigne Rosé de Montgueux; and finally, La cuvée de Champagne Jacques Lassaigne extra brut blanc de noirs Les Papilles Insolites. The Lassaigne estate produces a vintage cuvée every year, sourced from 2 to 3 plots and aged on laths for a minimum of 8 years.
