The Lamiable family has been in champagne since 1929 & at this domaine since 1960. This is a grower-made (r.m. = recoltant-manipulant) wine, which means that all of the grapes used here are family owned. The estate is located in the Grand Cru Champagne village of Tours-sur-Marne. Jean-Pierre Lamiable, a sports medicine physician and his daughter Orianne Crepeaux-Lamiable follow his father and Uncle as winemakers at this small estate which dates back to 1600.
The family owns six hectares in total (approximately 15 acres) – 4.5 hectares are devoted to Pinot Noir and 1.5 hectares are planted to Chardonnay. Their vineyards are all in the grand cru band, planted on limestone and chalk soils (no clay). Vineyard sites include ; Les Meslaines (vines 50 – 60 y/o), Clos de Goesse (vines 35-40 y/o), Ambuyeres and Bouzy. |
