About this wine:
The Lallier Family has been making champagne in the town of Ay, France, for 5 generations. Ay’s
wines were favorites of the French kings even prior to the advent of the discovery of ‘methode
champenoise’, at the end of the 17th Century. The Lallier Vineyards cover 30 acres, and benefit
from some of the best terroir for Champagne grapes. Only 17 villages in the Champagne can
claim the coveted name of ‘Grand Cru’, and Ay was one of the first to obtain it in 1936. Lallier
uses only Pinot Noir and Chardonnay for their ‘Grand Cru’ Cuvees.
The Peter Paul Champagne by Lallier is a Grand Cru Cuvee that was created specially for Peter
Paul Wines. It is a blend of 50% Pinot Noir and 50% Chardonnay. The wine is bottled after
blending in the spring, aged for a minimum of 36 months ‘sur lies’ in Lallier’s chalk cellars and
disgorged 3 to 5 months prior to release.
