Champagne Lecomte Père Et Fils: A Legacy Since 1859

Founded in 1859 by Gaston Lecomte, Champagne Lecomte Père et Fils has a rich history rooted in family tradition. Gaston initially marketed a variety of bottles, setting the stage for future generations. In the 1960s, his son Sage and daughter-in-law Suzy took the reins, expanding the winery's reach and ensuring that all their production found a market. In 1992, Serge’s son, Dosythee Lecomte, and his wife Ghislaine joined the family business, leading to a significant increase in sales through enhanced production. Today, their sons, Jeremy and Frederic, actively participate in vineyard management and Champagne sales, continuing the family legacy of quality and craftsmanship.

Commitment to Organic Practices

The Champagne region spans over 34,000 hectares, accounting for about 4% of France's vineyards. Champagne Lecomte Père et Fils cultivates its vines primarily in the esteemed Vinay terroir, located in Epernay’s Coteaux Sud and the Marne Valley. The soil composition of clay, marl, and sand is ideal for retaining moisture during dry summers. The winery employs sustainable vineyard practices, minimizing the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides to preserve the natural flavors of the grapes. The primary grape varieties include Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier, with only the finest grapes selected for their premium Champagnes. Since 2019, the winery has proudly held the HVE certification, reflecting its commitment to organic and sustainable viticulture.

Brilliant people, beautiful champagne! Visited in our motorhome at the end of April and they were so welcoming and the champagne is to die for.

I visited it as part of a Nikkei guided tour. It seemed bigger than I imagined. After seeing the process of making it, we had lunch and drank champagne. It was a home-cooked meal, but to me it felt like a great meal. It tasted very good. I don't think it's very well known in Japan. I look forward to the day when I can drink it regularly in Japan and wonder if I'll ever be able to do so again.

Great welcome and delicious champagnes! We had a wonderful time tasting, with the boss at our table, all the champagnes that interested us and which were all better than the others. Thank you for all the honest advice, we can't wait to sip our purchases (PS: we're following your recommendations for tonight's restaurant! And happy birthday 😉)

very friendly winegrower with a wide range of delicious champagnes. Very correct prices. Worth a visit if you're in the area (or to make a small detour there). Very good welcome with a nice tasting. And of course with all the necessary information about the champagnes and the champagne house. A house we will definitely return to. I personally like their champagne "Darling" from 100% Pinot Meunier and it is my favorite. The "extra Brut" is also not to be missed and I therefore purchased it.
