The Brut Nature Grand Cru from Maison Lombard is a brut nature champagne that skillfully combines finesse and power, proving ideal as an aperitif or with oysters or seafood. This champagne combines the delicacy and elegance of the Chardonnays from the Côte des Blancs (Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Chouilly, Avize, Cramant) with the power of the Pinot Noirs from the south of the Montagne de Reims (Ambonnay, Verzenay). These terroirs, classified as Grand Cru, are among the most prestigious in the region. The champagnes are mostly aged in oak barrels (75%), which gives them remarkable complexity and aromatic depth. The other part of the blend is aged in stainless steel vats, highlighting notes of fresh fruit. To bring tension and energy to the champagne, the cellar master has chosen to block the malolactic fermentation for 80% of the wines. After bottling, the Brut Nature Grand Cru from Lombard rests for 4 to 5 years in the cellars in Épernay. This long aging allows the aromas to round out and develop increased complexity. The balance of the champagne is perfect, eliminating the need for any additional dosage. Serving temperature: 9°C.

THE BRAND
The Lombard champagne house , established to the west of the Montagne de Reims in Champagne, was founded in 1925. The birth of the house was the fruit of the passion of an agricultural engineer from Montpellier, Robert Andrieu. From 1950 to 1975, his son-in-law Philippe Lombard continued his work by increasing sales volumes. Subsequently, from 1975 to 2017, Thierry Lombard took the reins of the company and oriented its development towards the international market. In 2004, a major turning point marked the history of the house. That year, two crucial decisions were made. First, the company invested in the purchase of vines to the west of the Montagne de Reims, mainly classified as premier cru. This vineyard, now integrated into the property, extends over 5.5 hectares, thus constituting a precious asset for the house. At the same time, the method of managing the vines has also evolved: after initial experiments with grassing, the house opted for working the soil, an approach that reflects its commitment to environmentally friendly viticultural practices. In 2017, the arrival of Thomas Lombard, Thierry's son, marked a new era for the house. The latter is distinguished in particular by a fold-out back label rich in practical information. Still belonging to the eponymous family, the house has been run by Thomas Lombard since 2017, under the benevolent tutelage of his father Thierry. Laurent Vaillant, for his part, takes on the role of cellar master. The vineyard has been certified organic since 2022, demonstrating the House's desire to produce quality champagnes while respecting nature.
