AND ITS AMBITION

A family passion

Strengthened by the values ​​of sharing knowledge, pooling of resources and helping others which have shaped the Lasseaux House since the creation of the cooperative in 1956 by Jean, the grandfather – pressing and winemaking continue to be carried out at “L’Entraide”.

PRESSURING

The cooperative has four presses:

– 2 traditional Coquard presses 4000 kg; and

Getting the best out of the grapes

The best grapes for the best wines: starting from this principle Champagne Lasseaux intends to make a difference. Starting with the picking, Baptiste knowledge of the vines allows him to wait for the optimal maturity and choose the best grapes. This process continues during pressing, with an exclusive selection of the juices to prepare exceptional cuvées. As expressing the terroir is as one of the strong commitments of the house, the plots of Pinot and Chardonnay are pressed separately to reveal all their quintessence.

WINEMAKING

Stainless steel vats

– 40 tanks from 40 hl to 300 hl (800 hl available for cooperative members out of a total of 2000 hl)

Barrels

– 16 of 228 liters, 6 of 400 litres, 6 “demi-muid” of 600 litres and finally 8 barrels of the “Tonnellerie de Champagne” – all created using oak trees from our village.

Cooperate, experiment and help each other

By producing more than 20,000 bottles, which represent almost a third of the total capacity of the cooperative (70,000 units), Champagne Lasseaux is still one of the “leaders” of the L’Entraide. Self-taught in oenology, Baptiste is very determined and often pioneers ideas in the management of the different stages of winemaking. After the alcoholic fermentation which lasts a fortnight, the racking which assists malolactic fermentation, is guided by a strict thermal regulation. The cold transition, in particular, is currently carried out by testing out tangential filtration systems. Another example of trailblazing, a derivative of Solera (fractional blending) is also undertaken in vats for the Pole Position Brut. These are all signs of the open-mindedness of Baptiste, who does not hesitate to work on wine monitoring with the Cooperative of the Syndicat Général des Vignerons.
