Aromas of soft red fruits, wildflowers, and quince, with a rich mouthfeel and balanced acidity.

Many would say that J. Lassalle was one of the original growers that put grower champagne on the map stateside, thanks to legendary importer Kermit Lynch. Lassalle was one of Kermit's very first finds back in the 1970s, and he has been importing them ever since, alongside Raveneau, Tempier, Coche-Dury, and all those other treasures.

Jules Lassalle established his family domain in 1942 on the Montagne de Reims. When he passed away in 1982, winemaking fell to his wife Olga. It eventually passed to her daughter Chantal and then, in 2006, to Chantal’s daughter Angeline. J. Lassalle's champagne exemplify a certain elegance, precision, and balance that is only achieved through decades of hard work and dedication.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 92
"The NV Brut Rosé 1er Cru is a pretty rich wine, especially for this address, where the Champagnes are often quite lithe. Deceptive in its mid-weight structure and overall feel, the Rosé offers quite a bit of intensity and persistence. Rose petal, cranberry, mint, citrus and white pepper all add attractive aromatic top notes. In this release, Lassalle's Rosé is a Champagne of real substance and textural depth." -Antonio Galloni
