THE BRAND
Champagne CAILLEZ LEMAIRE illustrates the fascinating history of winegrowing families, deeply inspired by their valley, the Marne Valley. Raymond CAILLEZ and Andrée LEMAIRE, childhood friends and heirs to a line of winegrowers dating back to the 18th century, made the bold choice to become harvesters and handlers by launching their own brand in 1942. Their determination and spirit of independence were passed on to their successors, Annie and Henri CAILLEZ, who considerably developed the estate. Today, Virginie and Laurent Vanpoperinghe perpetuate this family heritage with passion and dedication, holding high the values of the house. Committed to a conversion to organic farming, as independent winegrowers, they carefully ensure each stage of production, from the vine to bottling. The House became aware of the environmental and health risks associated with CMR (carcinogenic, mutagenic, reprotoxic) products, whose effectiveness rapidly diminishes after a year or two, leading to contamination of groundwater. In contrast, they realized that the use of copper, initially a source of concern about potential excess, turned out to be a much safer alternative, with greatly reduced doses. Their approach began by eliminating insecticides, then herbicides, reducing chemical treatments to just one. Obtaining HVE certification in 2014 was a major turning point, requiring them to record in detail the products used and increasing their awareness. Finally, their wine advisor persuaded them to make the switch to organic Champagne. The House found that living soil promotes better nutrient absorption and imparts a better taste to the grapes. The resulting Champagnes are richer in acidity and minerals, offering an enhanced taste experience.
