Maude & Vincent Lagille NV Champagne Brut BDN "l'Inattendue"

This brother-and-sister farm is found on a small hillside minutes west of Vrigny and Reims. Together, Maude and Vincent Lagille farm 15 acres of certified organic vines. As is more common in the region, their acreage is dominated by Pinot Meunier, with lesser proportions of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. 

All fruit is hand-harvested and brought to the family's ancient basket press in small wicker baskets. Juice is barrel-fermented and after secondary fermentation in the bottle, the wine is aged on the lees for a minimum of five years, adding delicious biscuit notes and yeasty complexity - these are incredibly complex, detailed, layered and DEEP wines. These wines never fail to impress. 

And because we believe we drink with our eyes first, Lagille has some of the most gorgeous, eye-catching labels in all of Champagne. There is a palpable sense of hand craftsmanship in the wine and every detail of Lagille's packaging.
