ChineseLafalise Froissart
Lafalise Froissart is found in the heart of the Verzenay Grand Cru vineyards, home to some of the greatest Pinot Noir in the Montagne de Reims. This family-run winery is now in the hands of the sixth generation, with Paul Froissart spearheading the operation and making the most of his intimate knowledge of their unique terroir.
Now the family’s 5ha Grand Cru vineyards, 40 plots, are located in Verzenay and Verzy. Both organic and biodynamic certified, most of the grapes used come from the west facing slopes where his 2 horses Hercule and Cirrus plow the land. All their cuvée’s are vinified in barrels and had no MLF to preserve its natural acidity and to benefit its longevity. They produce terroir-focused, elegant and precise wines that rub shoulders with the greatest names in the area.
The benefit of the low-intervention approach means that each parcel can express its own unique properties in the final wine. Lafalise Froissart’s two cuvées, 045 and 276, have their own charming typicity and power. The 276 shows more minerality and freshness, while the 045 exemplifies the power and elegance of Pinot Noir. These are absolutely Champagnes for fans “in the know” – limited quantities of exceptional-quality wine.
