Collection: Lepreux-Penet

Champagne Lepreux-Penet is a boutique champagne house rooted in the Grand Cru village of Verzy, located in the heart of the Montagne de Reims region in Champagne, France. The house's history is deeply tied to the region's rich winemaking tradition, with a focus on quality and heritage.

The origins of Champagne Lepreux-Penet can be traced back to two intertwined family names: Lepreux and Penet. The Penet family has a long history in viticulture, cultivating vineyards in Verzy for several generations. The Lepreux family, equally passionate about winemaking, contributed to the development of the estate as a high-quality producer. When these two families joined forces, they created a brand that would carry on the craftsmanship and expertise passed down through the years.

The vineyards owned by Lepreux-Penet are located in some of the finest Grand Cru terroirs, where the unique chalky soils and cool climate of Verzy give their wines a distinct character. While many Champagne houses focus on blending grapes from various regions, Lepreux-Penet emphasizes terroir-driven champagne. They showcase the specific attributes of their vineyards, particularly through single-vintage cuvées that allow the expression of the unique growing conditions of each year.

Lepreux-Penet is known for producing champagne with a focus on precision and balance. They primarily grow Pinot Noir, a grape for which the Montagne de Reims region is famous, along with Chardonnay, to create complex and elegant blends. The house uses traditional winemaking methods, such as hand-harvesting and extended aging on lees, to develop the distinct flavors and refined bubbles that define their champagne.

Today, Champagne Lepreux-Penet remains family-owned, committed to sustainable viticulture practices and the production of high-quality champagne. They continue to honor the traditions that have been passed down through the generations, while also embracing innovation to produce wines that reflect both their history and the evolving tastes of modern champagne enthusiasts. The house's reputation continues to grow internationally, with their champagnes celebrated for their purity, finesse, and expression of the terroir.
