Why Lelarge-Pugeot?
Lelarge-Pugeot represents the best of Champagne’s grower-producer movement: family-owned, sustainably farmed, and deeply connected to place. With over two centuries of viticultural heritage in Vrigny, the family’s focus on Pinot Meunier highlights a grape once overlooked but now embraced for its adaptability and expressive character. Certified organic and biodynamic, they champion vineyard health and minimal intervention from vine to bottle.
The result is a lineup of Champagnes that are elegant, textured, and honest. Whether you’re tasting their classic “Tradition,” the bone-dry “Nature et Non Dosé,” or one of their micro-cuvées from the Luna series, Lelarge-Pugeot delivers wines of precision, vitality, and distinct personality—true reflections of the land and hands that shape them.
A Range of Meunier-Driven Expression
Lelarge-Pugeot’s lineup may be compact, but each cuvée plays a distinct role in expressing their vineyards, winemaking ethos, and the full potential of Pinot Meunier.
Tradition Extra Brut | The estate’s flagship wine and most widely produced bottling. A blend of roughly 60% Pinot Meunier, 20% Pinot Noir, and 20% Chardonnay, it balances the roundness of Meunier with the structure of Pinot Noir and lift of Chardonnay. Aged three years on lees and finished with a low dosage, it’s a definitive introduction to Lelarge-Pugeot’s style—pure, textured, and quietly compelling.
Nature et Non Dosé | A zero-dosage cuvée that strips Champagne down to its essentials. With no sugar added at disgorgement, this wine highlights the precision and nerve that biodynamically farmed fruit can deliver. Expect a bracing, mineral-forward profile that appeals to purists and terroir-seekers alike.
Les Meuniers de Clémence | A single-parcel, single-vintage, 100% Pinot Meunier bottling named for Clémence Lelarge. This is the estate’s tribute to Meunier’s finesse and complexity when given center stage. Richer in texture but tightly structured, this wine has developed a quiet cult following among sommeliers. If you try one bottle to challenge your perception of Champagne, let it be this.
Luna Series | Lelarge-Pugeot’s playground for experimentation. These micro-releases might include wines made without dosage, with extended aging under cork, or using heritage varieties and techniques. They’re not always made every year, and each bottling is different—perfect for collectors and the Champagne-curious who enjoy surprises.
Each wine in this range reflects Lelarge-Pugeot’s guiding principles: transparency, thoughtful farming, and deep connection to place. But if there's one bottling not to miss, it’s Les Meuniers de Clémence—a rare Champagne that fully redefines what Pinot Meunier can be.
