The Vintage Brut Premier Cru Lallement Massonnot is a Champagne resulting from a family-run maison that has cultivated vineyards in Bouilly, in the Montagne de Reims area, since the early 1900s. Until the early 1980s, the maison always sold the grapes to the Courmas cooperative, then decided to start producing Champagne with its own brand. A choice based on the awareness of the high quality of the grapes, coming from 5 hectares divided into numerous parcels, almost all classified Premier Cru and located in Coulommes-la-Montagne, Pargny-lès-Reims, Saint-Euphrasie, and Gueux. The grapes come from the most suitable Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Meunier vineyards of the estate. The vinifications take place separately by grape variety and by individual parcel. Once the fermentation phase is completed, the base wines age for several months and are then blended to create the perfect balance of the cuvée. The second fermentation takes place in the bottle according to the Champenoise Method, with a sur lattes aging of at least 60 months before proceeding to disgorgement.
