Champagne Laculle Frères
Chervey Pinot Noir

The Champagne Chervey Pinot Noir by Laculle Frères is a refined Blanc de Noirs made from 100% Pinot Noir grapes, selected from the domaine’s finest estate vineyards, grown on clay-limestone soils surrounding the village of Chervey, in the heart of the Côte des Bar.

Vinification involves fermentation and aging in fût de chêne (oak barrels) for approximately 10 months. After tirage, the secondary fermentation takes place using the traditional agrafe method, which involves sealing the bottles with a natural cork and metal staple, rather than the more common crown cap. This historic technique, though more demanding and costly, encourages natural micro-oxygenation, contributing to the depth and complexity of the Champagne. No final dosage (0 g/l), classifying it as Brut Nature.

On tasting, Champagne Bicheret stands out for its intensity and finesse, offering a deep and elegant expression of Chervey’s terroir, capable of evoking the discreet and mysterious charm of the village in the hours of night.

Champagne Laculle Frères

The history of the Laculle family begins in 1789, in the villages of Beurey and Buxières, where the family members worked as laborers in various agricultural activities. Viticulture becomes their main focus, and with the establishment of the Champagne designation for the Aube in 1927, the family begins to supply grapes to major Champagne houses, consolidating their presence in the wine industry.ì

In 2018, Edouard and Victor Laculle decide to take control of the family estate and renew the approach to viticulture. Driven by a passion for the terroir and sustainable agriculture, Edouard focuses on caring for the vineyard, while Victor handles winemaking. Innovation blends with tradition, leading to the creation of distinctive champagnes that reflect the essence of the land and a nature-respecting approach.

Laculle Frères is a Champagne producer that stands out for its deep connection to the Côte des Bar. The family works on two main geological origins, Kimmeridiano and Portlandiano, and aims to minimize human impact. Pinot Blanc is the reference grape, and with its Deux Vallées and Plaisir Champenois wines, it best expresses the mineral characteristics of the terroir. The family’s philosophy is to respect and enhance the land at every stage of the production process.
