The historic Domaine Lagille is being powerfully propelled by the current generation Vincent and his sister Maud. Located in Treslon near the city of Reims, the family’s plantings comprise 7.3 hectares planted mostly to Pinot Meunier, from which they are crafting beautiful and terroir-driven Champagne.
Founded in Treslon in 1818 near the city of Reims, Domaine Lagille owns 7.20 hectares planted mainly to Pinot Meunier, which makes up 55 percent of their vineyards, with the rest being planted to Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The current generation, Vincent, joined the family business in 2012 and has been a driving force of change and improvement at the domain, placing a heavy focus on the work being done in the vineyard, along with moving towards a few special terroir-oriented bottlings that are profound and worth snatching up.
Champagne Lagille works primarily with single varieties for each wine and Vincent has shown exceptional skill working with Pinot Meunier. Vincent has pruned all the vines in Cordon de Royat – something usually reserved for Chardonnay and Pinot Noir in Grand Cru vineyard sites.
The only blended bottling is the La Grande Réserve, which is composed of equal parts Pinot Meunier, Chardonnay, and Pinot Noir. “For the rest, the choice was made to let our terroir speak for itself through each grape variety." Vincent’s focus in the winery is clear: minimal dosage, vinification in barrel, and search for tension and identity in the wines and plots.
