Champagne Lamiable

History

It can be said that the Lamiable family has deep roots in Champagne. Indeed, it has been established in Tours-sur-Marne for several centuries, the 15th more precisely. In those years, it was not especially focused on the vineyard but already had its hands in the ground.

For the vineyard, it will be necessary to wait until 1950 because even if the current residence was built by Hyppolite Lamiable in 1859, the domain focused on the vineyard only in the XXth century. In 1950 therefore, two brothers Auguste and Pierre Lamiable dug the cellars and beat the first place of elaboration and storage, they thus created the foundations of the house of today.

In 1955, the first harvest of grapes from Tours-sur-Marne at the place called "Les Meslaines" arrived in the newly built cellar. Everything accelerated with the acquisition of the first press in 1960, which marked the desire for improvement but above all the desire for independence. From then on, champagne was produced at home!

In 1972, another arrival marked the history of the property, that of Jean-Pierre Lamiable. He took over the management of the estate and strongly developed the reputation of Champagne Lamiable. An outstanding salesman, he sells his champagne all over France by delivering all the passion he has for it.

Taking up the torch

Since then, Jean-Pierre Lamiable has passed the torch to his daughters, Ophelia and Orianne. The first one is specialized in oenology and applies herself to bring the signature of the house in the vinifications. The second is focused on trade and economic management, great responsibilities to keep the family tradition alive.

A perennement which also passes by the vines which are only little treated. Indeed, for about 20 years, the estate has been using a natural biological method to fight against grape worms, called "sexual confusion". In addition, the work in the vineyards is also adapted to reduce treatments.

Located at about thirty kilometers from Reims, the Lamiable house is in the heart of the Champagne capital. Its plots are mostly placed in Tours-sur-Marne and Bouzy on terroirs where the quality of the grapes is judged as Grand Cru or Premier Cru. Pinot noir is the most represented grape variety with 60% of the 6 hectares. The remaining parcels are shared between Chardonnay (35%) and Petit Meslier (5%).

Some parcels are also recognized with for example "Les Meslaines", a place where, remember, the first harvest of the house Lamiable had taken place. The vines are therefore old, and produce a pinot noir of great quality. "La Vigne Goësse" is a 100% chardonnay parcel located on the Côte des Blancs, which allows the estate to produce superb white champagnes. One of the favorites of many tasters!
