The Lemaire family's journey into winemaking began in the late 19th century in Hautvilliers, the birthplace of Champagne. It was here that Désiré Lemaire, a gardener and poet, purchased the vineyards that would lay the foundation for what is now the Roger Constant Lemaire estate. The family tradition of producing exceptional Champagne was truly realized by Désiré’s grandson, Roger Constant Lemaire, who doubled the size of the estate and established the family home and headquarters in Villers-sous-Châtillon in 1945. Today, the legacy continues through his daughter Brigitte, her husband Gilles Tournant, and their sons Sébastien and Guillaume, who have embraced modern, ecologically friendly techniques to uphold the family’s commitment to quality and sustainability. From its modest 12 hectares, this family-run estate now exports its Champagne worldwide under the name Roger Constant Lemaire. The Lemaire family is deeply committed to ecological viticulture, using only natural marine algae to protect their vines. They meticulously select and harvest grapes by hand, and only the first press is used in production to ensure the highest quality. By avoiding malolactic fermentation, they preserve the Champagne's natural acidity, resulting in a product with inherent sweetness that requires only minimal cane sugar addition. This dedication to tradition and innovation makes Roger Constant Lemaire Champagne a true testament to the family's enduring passion for excellence.
