The Lagille family have been vignerons in Treslon, in the Vallée de L’Ardre since 1818.   Today, the estate is run by siblings Maud and Vincent Lagille who are known for their innovative and sustainable approach to viticulture and sparkling winemaking. 

Domaine Lagille converted to organics in 2019 and also has the Haute Valeur Environnementale certification.  Their 7.20 hectares of vineyards are mainly planted to Pinot Meunier (55%), followed by Chardonnay (30%) and Pinot Noir (15%), producing around 50,000 bottles per year. 
A unique feature of the estate is that they train their Meunier vines using the “cordon royat” system, usually reserved for Grand Cru vineyards, which ensures low yields and greater concentration of quality.  They vinify parcel-by-parcel, use minimal dosage, and minimal oak to highlight the richness and complexity of the clay-limestone terroir of the Montagne de Reims.

Tasting Notes

Aromatically complex; the freshness of apple, lemon peel and lime mingles with delicate floral notes, chamomille all wrapped up in toasted buttery brioche sprinkled with hazlenuts.  The palate shows great tention between freshness and richeness; citrus fruit and minerality dance on the palate with wonderful toasty, creamy, leesy notes from bottle aging.  The bubbles are fine and persistent and carrying the aromas and flavours to a long pleasing finish.  This complex yet infinitely easy drinking Champagne an ideal choice to commemorate a truly special occasion and it can equally be enjoyed with a bowl of buttered popcorn on regular movie night.  

Method

Au Fils du Temps tells the story of a particular growing season.  It expresses the terroir of Treslon from a single year and the blend varies depending on that year’s growing conditions.  Every vintage a different choice has been made.  The wine is like a time capsule.  The 2019 is a blend of 90% Chardonnay and 10% Pinot Noir.  The dosage is 5 g/L.
