Champagne Caillez-Lemaire
Damery
Independent winegrowers in Damery, on the right bank of the Marne Valley, 7 km downstream from Epernay, Champagne Caillez Lemaire, certified High Environmental Value since 2014, started the process of conversion to organic farming since 2020
From the vine to the wine, Virginie and Laurent are attentive to all the stages that contribute to the personality of their Champagnes.
Our vinification techniques (no filtration, no fining, no malolactic fermentation, temperature control, etc.) leave an impact on our Champagnes.
The majority of our wines go further still, bearing the strong influence of oak barrels (225, 300, 600 liters).
Barrels allow the wines to fully express themselves and highlight their complex, rich aromas.
Our spirits (Ratafia, Fine and Marc Champenois) are also aged in wood for many years, using the Solera method.
Cuvée Jadis
The Jadis Cuvée is a vintage champagne which boasts a unique production technique: the wine was fermented in old 225 liter oak barrels, then the bottles were traditionally closed with natural corks right after bottling.
The wine displays golden reflections and very fine bubbles. The highly aromatic first nose is very complex. After airing, citrus, bread and hazelnut notes are replaced by candied fruit and spices. On the palate, the bubbles create a creamy sensation which oscillates between freshness and vinosity.
The wine's full-bodied character is accompanied by a nice acidic finish.
This opulent Champagne could be an elegant companion to white meat served with a creamy sauce, or to cheeses such as Comté, Langres or goat cheese.
