Gault&Millau's review 2026

An original, seductive nose of pear, lily of the valley and acacia honey. On the palate, the fat, slightly chalky texture adds charm, coupled with a lovely minerality. Delicate, straightforward, without a hint of madness. An ideal champagne to accompany long conversations between old friends.

Fernand Lemaire

The family history of Champagne Fernand Lemaire unfolds in the iconic village of Hautvillers, classified as a Premier Cru. In 1903, the first cuvée was produced, the result of a production process meticulously managed from start to finish. Since 2022, the great-grandchildren, Hélène and Benoît, have been managing the estate, upholding the house’s tradition: no herbicides or pesticides for over 20 years, mechanical tilling of the soil by tractor or horse, and no blending in the cuvées to allow each vintage to express itself fully.
