Montagne de Reims

The Montagne de Reims is a forested plateau in the northern part of Champagne, characterized by its chalk soils, cooler climate, and north-facing slopes that create ideal conditions for Pinot Noir cultivation. This prestigious subregion is known for producing powerful, structured champagnes with Pinot Noir as the dominant grape, although Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier are also grown in significant quantities. Many of Champagne's Grand Cru villages are located in this area, including Ambonnay, Bouzy, and Verzenay, contributing to some of the region's most celebrated prestige cuvées.

Champagne Lelarge-Pugeot

Lelarge-Pugeot

Sparkling

This grower Champagne represents the exciting revolution happening in France's most famous sparkling wine region – small family estates bottling their own production rather than selling grapes to the big houses. The result is a wine with distinctive character and a genuine sense of place. Lelarge-Pugeot has been growing grapes in Champagne since the 1800s, but only in recent decades began producing their own wines. The estate is certified both organic and biodynamic, showing their commitment to environmental stewardship and wine quality. Their house style emphasizes precision, elegance, and authentic expression of terroir – a welcome contrast to mass-produced brands. This bottle offers a genuine taste of artisanal Champagne at a price that, while not inexpensive, delivers exceptional value compared to the famous names.
