Wine Spectator
A harmonious Champagne, with a delicate mousse caressing the palate, carrying a subtle weave of Asian pear, slivered almond, lemon pith, minerally chalk and saline flavors. Fresh and lightly floral on the finish. Drink now through 2026. 150 cases imported.

Wine & Spirits
A 60-40 blend of chardonnay and pinot noir, this is buttery and lush, a bright, lem-ony, hedonistic pleasure. Its flavors will ele-vate a crispy roast chicken.
Jules Lassalle established this family-owned Champagne house in 1942 in the village of Chigny-Les-Roses on the Montagne de Reims. A master of his craft, he established a signature style of elegant, tightly knit wines with a certain ampleur. When he passed away in 1982 his wife, Olga, and their daughter, Chantal, took over the estate, upholding Jules’ high standards and progressively pushing the domaine to the next level. In 2006 Chantal’s daughter, Angéline Templier, joined the estate as winemaker. These tough, hardworking women continue to follow vinification methods established by Jules in the forties. Their 28-year tradition of “une femme, un esprit, un style” (one woman, one spirit, one style) holds true today more than ever.
