Champagne Gallimard Père et Fils

The GALLIMARD Champagne has the reputation of a regular and balanced quality, as it comes from wineyards which benefit from an exceptional sun-exposure.

The Gallimard family, develop their Champagnes with the greatest respect for tradition and modern winemaking. In 1930, Jules and his son Ernest Gallimard, winegrowers, produced their first bottles of Champagne. They were succeeded by Pierre, then Jean, and now Didier and his son Arnaud Gallimard.

Our vineyard is located at Les Riceys, which is not only the largest wine-making village in the Champagne region, but the village is also the only holder of 3 appellations of the region (Champagne, Coteaux Champenois, and the famous Rosé des Riceys). Our pinot noir vineyard is a specific and unique terroir which not only brings an exceptional maturity to our pinots noir but provides grapes particularly adapted to the maceration (" La saignée") necessary to make our Champagne Rosé as well as our Rosé des Riceys. By exercising good judgment in our vine-growing practice we are also conforming to protection of the environment. Our vineyard is mainly planted with 85 % pinot noir and 15 % chardonnay, pruned in Guyot, Cordon de Royat and Chablis.
