AboutLelarge-Pugeot
The seventh and eighth generations of the Lelarge family work together in Vrigny, a Premier Cru village west of Reims. The family traces its vineyard line to 1799, while the present name dates from the marriage of Dominique Lelarge and Dominique Pugeot and their later stewardship of the estate. Meunier occupies just over half of the 8.7 hectares; Pinot Noir and Chardonnay fill out the plantings on Vrigny’s sandy, clay-limestone soils.
After years of reducing herbicides and insecticides, the estate received Ecocert organic certification in 2015; Demeter recognition followed two years later. In the cellar, fermentations begin with indigenous yeasts, with small additions of sulphur only when needed.

Ripe apple and apricot meet tangy orange zest, brown butter and a lightly caramelized note. The palate is creamy yet dry, with grapefruit acidity cutting through its broad, generous texture. Subtle oxidative nuttiness adds complexity, while fine bubbles and citrus tension keep the finish lifted, savoury and precise.
