A Family Estate in the Heart of Montgueux

Maison Jacques Lassaigne is located in Montgueux, a Champagne village renowned for its exceptional terroir. Founded by Jacques Lassaigne, the estate is now led by his son, Emmanuel Lassaigne, who continues the family tradition with passion and innovation. The vineyard spans 4.7 hectares, primarily planted with Chardonnay, benefiting from a southeast exposure ideal for optimal grape ripening.

A Unique Terroir: The Montrachet of Champagne

Montgueux is often referred to as the “Montrachet of Champagne” due to its chalky soil and distinctive microclimate. This terroir imparts a pronounced minerality and unique aromatic complexity to the champagnes. The vines, several decades old, are cultivated using environmentally friendly practices, promoting biodiversity and soil health.

Exceptional Cuvées Showcasing the Terroir

Among the estate's flagship cuvées, the “Blanc de Blancs Les Vignes de Montgueux” stands out for its freshness and purity, resulting from a blend of nine different parcels and two successive vintages. The “Le Cotet” cuvée, sourced from a single parcel, offers an intense expression of Chardonnay with citrus notes and a saline finish. Each bottle faithfully reflects the terroir and Emmanuel Lassaigne's expertise.

Artisanal and Natural Winemaking

Emmanuel Lassaigne adopts a minimalist approach in the cellar, favoring spontaneous fermentations with indigenous yeasts and limiting sulfur use to the strict minimum. The wines are aged on fine lees for several years, developing a silky texture and remarkable aromatic depth. Disgorgement is performed manually, a rare practice in Champagne, ensuring optimal quality for each bottle.

International Recognition

Jacques Lassaigne champagnes are acclaimed by enthusiasts and critics worldwide for their authenticity and pure expression of the Montgueux terroir. Featured on the finest gastronomic tables, they embody the excellence and innovation of a family estate dedicated to the art of Champagne.
