Champagne Roger-Constant Lemaire: A Family Legacy of Sustainable Champagne

Champagne Roger-Constant Lemaire invites you to explore a family legacy rooted in the heart of the Champagne region. Located in the picturesque village of Cœur-de-la-Vallée, this vineyard has been producing exceptional champagnes for generations. The story began in the late 19th century when Désiré Lemaire, a gardener and poet, acquired the first parcels of land in Hautvillers, the cradle of Champagne. Roger-Constant Lemaire, Désiré's grandson, understood the importance of blending grapes based on their origin to create high-quality champagne. In 1945, he expanded the vineyard and moved the family's headquarters to Villers-sous-Châtillon. Today, the tradition continues with Brigitte Lemaire and her sons, Sébastien and Guillaume, who are committed to sustainable viticulture and producing champagnes that reflect the unique terroir of the Marne Valley. Champagne Roger-Constant Lemaire stands out for its commitment to producing rare and atypical champagnes. They avoid malolactic fermentation, a method used by only 10% of winemakers, and refrain from filtration and fining. This results in champagnes that are fresh, authentic, and mineral-rich, with a natural acidity that enhances their aging potential. The family also uses marine algae to protect their vines, eliminating the need for pesticides. Visitors can enjoy a tour of the estate and a tasting of their exceptional champagnes. Discover the unique characteristics of their Blanc de Meuniers, crafted exclusively from Pinot Meunier grapes, or their Trianon cuvée, a tribute to Roger-Constant Lemaire's legacy. With a focus on sustainability and a passion for quality, Champagne Roger-Constant Lemaire offers a truly authentic Champagne experience.
