Collection: Jean Lemaire

Champagne Jean Lemaire is a family-owned champagne house located in the village of Trigny, in the Montagne de Reims region of Champagne, France. The house was founded by Jean Lemaire, a passionate vigneron who inherited the family vineyards and decided to produce his own champagne. Since its establishment, Champagne Jean Lemaire has been dedicated to crafting high-quality, terroir-driven champagnes that reflect the unique characteristics of the region.

The Lemaire family has been cultivating vineyards for several generations, with their vineyards primarily planted with the traditional Champagne grape varieties: Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, and Chardonnay. These vineyards benefit from the chalky soils and favorable climate of the Montagne de Reims, which contribute to the distinct flavors and structure of their champagnes.

Champagne Jean Lemaire is known for its artisanal approach, emphasizing sustainable viticulture and minimal intervention in the winemaking process. The family practices hand-harvesting and carefully monitors each stage of the production to ensure the quality of the grapes is preserved. Their champagnes are aged for extended periods on the lees, which adds complexity and richness to the wines.

Today, the house continues to be run by the Lemaire family, with the newer generations upholding the traditions established by Jean Lemaire while incorporating modern techniques to enhance their production. The range of champagnes produced by the estate includes both blends and single-varietal cuvées, each crafted to express the purity of the terroir.

Champagne Jean Lemaire has gained recognition for its elegant, well-balanced champagnes that are appreciated by enthusiasts both locally and internationally. The family’s commitment to quality and respect for tradition ensures that their champagnes remain a true expression of the Montagne de Reims terroir.
