Champagne J. Lassalle 'Préférence' Premier Cru Brut NV
Vintage Character
J. Lassalle Préférence Premier Cru Brut is a non-vintage Champagne from Chigny-les-Roses in the Montagne de Reims, a Premier Cru village long prized for combining the breadth of Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir with the lift of Chardonnay. In Champagne, non-vintage blends are shaped to express house style across multiple harvests, and here that approach brings both consistency and excellent value, with the added benefit of extra complexity from cellar aging on the lees. The terroir of this sector of the Montagne de Reims, with its chalk-influenced soils and cool climate, gives the wine its fine tension, delicate mineral edge, and poised freshness.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
The nose opens with green apple, ripe pear, citrus zest, white flowers, and hawthorn, followed by brioche, pastry dough, and a light almond note. On the palate, the mousse is refined and persistent, carrying flavors of orchard fruit, lemon cream, and subtle honeyed pastry toward a crisp, chalk-tinged finish. The Wine Advocate awarded it 90 points, a fitting marker for a Champagne that balances generosity with precision. It pairs beautifully with oysters, roast chicken with morels, or tempura prawns.
Winery Background
Founded in 1942 by Jules Lassalle, the house remains one of Champagne’s distinctive family grower-producers and is especially notable for having been shaped by three generations of women, today represented by Angéline Templier. The estate farms its own vineyards in Premier Cru villages including Chigny-les-Roses, Ludes, and Rilly-la-Montagne, and is known for a meticulous, artisanal philosophy centered on expressing place rather than scale. Traditional pressing, long lees aging, and careful blending define the winemaking, resulting in Champagnes that are textured, elegant, and unmistakably rooted in grower authenticity.
