Champagne Lallier
R.020

The collection Réflexions R Champagne is reinterpreted year after year to reflect the unique character of each vintage. Each edition expresses the soul of the Lallier style: a perfect balance of freshness, purity, depth and intensity.

The Champagne R.020 by Lallier is a blend of 51% Chardonnay and 49% Pinot Noir from grapes harvested mainly in the villages of Avize, Cramant, Oger, Aÿ, Verzenay, Bouzy and Ambonnay. For this edition, 88% of the grapes come from the 2020 harvest with the remaining 19% blended from vin de réserve from the 2018 and 2019 vintages, each dominated by intense and elegance.

The Champagne R.020 by Lallier has a light golden colour with jade nuances. On the nose, it smells of white flowers with strong hints of citrus. It opens freshly in the mouth, with a delicate and silky sensation, which leaves room to a perfect balance. The finish is long and offers a pleasant aromatic persistence, dominated by salty touches.

Champagne Lallier

Maison Lallier was founded in Aÿ in 1906 thanks to the intuition of René Lallier. Already in 1936, Aÿ was one of the seventeen villages classified as "Grand Cru" in Champagne, a clear indication of the quality of the grapes growing on these famous hills. In 1996, René-James Lallier, the grandson of the founder, took the Maison in a new direction by carrying out important works of modernization of production facilities as well as renewing the cellars.

René-James, in his search for absolute quality, was helped by Francis Tribaut, who at the time worked as a consultant for some of the most prestigious names in the Champagne region. In 2004, as a result of their strong relationship of trust, when René-James Lallier decided to sell the Maison, he asked Francis Tribault if he was interested in buying it: he accepted, strongly convinced of the potential of the Maison. The years that followed showed the right direction and confirmed the reputation of excellence that Lallier Champagnes enjoy, year after year.
