The House – Lemaire

Champagne Roger-Constant
Lemaire

DOMAIN SINCE 1860

The history of the House of Roger-Constant Lemaire dates back to the end of the 19th century in Hautvillers, the cradle of champagne where a family tradition was founded. A gardener and poet, Désiré Lemaire bought the first pieces of land that today constitute the House of Roger-Constant Lemaire vineyard.

Désiré’s grandson, Roger-Constant, understood the importance of blending the grapes on the basis of their origin in order to create a quality champagne. In 1945, he doubled the size of the vineyard in Hautvillers and moved the family heartland to Villers-sous-Chatillon.

Brigitte Lemaire, Roger-Constant’s daughter, married Gilles Tournant who proved to be a
very talented young winemaker. Together they have continued the family tradition with their children
Sébastien and Guillaume.

For 5 generations the family has been putting the know-how of its Marne valley ancestors
to good use. The terroir is right in the heart of the Champagne region, exclusively on
the south bank on a clay-limestone soil extending from Hautvillers premier cru to
Cumières and as far as Villers-sous-Châtillon
