Domaine Lagille Le Mont en Peine Blanc de Blancs Brut Nature Champagne 2021 750ml

Product Info

An exceptional, limited-production Blanc de Blancs from one of Champagne's most exciting emerging grower-producers, Domaine Lagille's Le Mont en Peine is a beautifully precise, single-vineyard expression of Chardonnay from the Vallée de l'Ardre, on the western slopes of the Montagne de Reims.

Crafted by fourth-generation vigneron Vincent Lagille, this distinctive Champagne comes exclusively from the Le Mont en Peine lieu-dit in Treslon, where nearly 40-year-old Chardonnay vines grow on clay-limestone soils. The 2021 vintage was fermented and matured in seasoned oak barrels, without malolactic fermentation, preserving its vibrant natural acidity and remarkable purity. Bottled without dosage (0 g/L), it is a strikingly transparent expression of its vineyard origins. Only 1500 bottles.

The nose is beautifully focused, revealing aromas of fresh lemon zest, white grapefruit, crisp green apple and delicate white flowers, complemented by subtle toasted almond and chalky mineral notes. On the palate, it is taut, energetic and exceptionally refined, with a fine, persistent mousse, incisive acidity and impressive depth. A long, saline finish delivers remarkable precision, tension and elegance.

A rare and compelling grower Champagne that showcases Chardonnay at its most expressive, combining crystalline purity, mineral intensity and the sophistication of meticulous small-production winemaking.
