Why Cave selected it

Grand Cru grower Champagne that delivers racy, mineral precision and floral freshness at a compelling price point.

About the wine

Stylish, racy champagne with a fresh floral fruitiness and insistent mineral notes from the grand cru village of Tours-sur-Marne, located at the eastern end of the Vallée de la Marne and just below Bouzy. Dare we say, this is great value Champagne!

About Lamiable

Lamiable is based in Tours-sur-Marne (since 1650) and have 6ha of Grand Cru vines just to the north of the river on a due south-facing hillside, right at the eastern end of the Vallée de la Marne. Interestingly they contest that as their vines are a continuation of the same slope as Bouzy, they are actually on the Montagne de Reims. The recently retired Jean-Pierre Lamiable also worked as a doctor specializing in sports medicine, looking after high-level athletes preparing for the Olympics. He has now handed over the estate to his daughter Ophélie and her husband. At 45yo their vines are very old (which is extremely rare in Champagne where most vines are dug up and replaced as soon as they pass their maximum production point when just 20yo), all planted via massal selection on fine rootstocks.
