OUR STORY
CRAFTING A LEGACY
Rooted in Aÿ, in the heart of Champagne’s legendary Grand Cru region, the Lallier story begins with one family’s philosophy: a sincere respect for nature, and an unwavering curiosity toward the singularity it can bring each year.
OUR PLACES: Aÿ & OGER
Champagne Lallier calls home to two complementary locations in iconic Grand Crus region: the first in Aÿ, which houses our aging cellar, and the second in Oger, Côte des Blancs, where the Maison’s contemporary production facilities are held. Each location compliments the other, marrying aged old techniques with creative innovation.

We’ve always believed that the terroir’s greatest potential is revealed through the unique perspectives of our people. Under the stewardship of acclaimed Cellar Master and General Manager Dominique Demarville, the Lallier team brings heart, formidable knowledge of the terroir and multigenerational craftsmanship to every bottle, adapted over time to create a more eco-responsible legacy.
CELLAR MASTER
DOMINIQUE DEMARVILLE
Dominique is one of the foremost experts of Champagne cultivation, with an impressive 23-year career in leading cellar positions at several Champagne houses, including becoming the youngest Chef de Caves at a major maison at the age of 31. Revered for his precise contemporary vision of blending, perfectly aligned to the authentic, accessible and sophisticated Lallier style, his objective is to highlight the wines’ complex and generous character, while crafting world-class cuvées and ushering the House into a more global eco-responsible approach. He inherited the mantle of Cellar Master and General Manager at Lallier in January 2021.
“Lallier has an exceptional oenological heritage, rich with one of, if not the largest, selection of reserve wines. It remains devoted to a love of Pinot Noir, which allows us to create the special signature of our Champagnes. Along with the entire Lalllier team, I am thrilled to follow in the footsteps of my predecessors, continuing a two century tradition of expertise and excellence in creating such iconic cuvées.”
