Champagne Gounel Lassalle

Estate-Grown Champagnes – Premier Cru

Driven by the convictions of Arnaud Gounel, a passionate fourth-generation winegrower, the estate follows a committed and forward-looking approach, constantly striving to work in greater harmony with nature. Respect for the land, the Champagne landscape, and the people who cultivate it lies at the heart of our philosophy.

Certified High Environmental Value (HVE) and Sustainable Viticulture in Champagne (VDC) since 2018, the vineyard covers 5 hectares divided into 29 individual plots located in Chigny-les-Roses, Ludes, and Rilly-la-Montagne, all classified Premier Cru.

We grow the three traditional Champagne grape varieties — Pinot Noir, Meunier, and Chardonnay — across a highly fragmented vineyard. This diversity of soils, exposures, and micro-terroirs brings complexity, precision, and identity to our wines.

Since the 2018 harvest, this mosaic of parcels has enabled us to pursue parcel-by-parcel vinification in oak barrels, allowing each terroir to express itself with clarity and authenticity.

The majority of our cuvées are:

• parcel-vinified in oak barrels,
• sealed with cork closures, bottled or in magnums,
• zero dosage, to let the terroir speak freely and without artifice.

Among them are three Blancs de Noirs, including two 100% Meunier, emblematic of the estate’s style.

Production remains deliberately limited:
   approximately 200 magnums per cuvée, and 1,200 to 3,000 bottles per parcel.

Champagnes of terroir — sincere, precise, and crafted for discerning wine lovers and demanding tables.
