Champagne Laurent Lequart is a distinguished grower Champagne house nestled in the Marne Valley village of Passy-Grigny, anchored by a deep family history of vineyard farming that spans over a century. The domaine is currently led by Laurent Lequart, who began crafting Champagne under his own label in 2007 after decades of selling grapes to renowned Champagne houses. With approximately 11 hectares of sustainably farmed vineyards, Laurent Lequart is notably committed to environmentally responsible practices, holding certifications like HVE (Haute Valeur Environnementale) and Viticulture Durable en Champagne. Known primarily for exceptional Pinot Meunier plantings, the estate crafts Champagnes that reflect the pure expression of their terroir, blending all three classic Champagne grapes with a focus on balance, elegance, and freshness.

The "L’Héritière" Extra Brut cuvée exemplifies Laurent Lequart’s philosophy. Comprised of roughly 40% Pinot Meunier, 40% Pinot Noir, and 20% Chardonnay, this multi-vintage blend is vinified with native yeasts in stainless steel and aged for 30 months on the lees, with a restrained dose of just 6 g/L, delivering a dry, refined palate. The wine showcases a delicate mousse, vibrant acidity, and layers of baked apple, yellow stone fruits, pastry, and subtle savory complexity shaped by extended lees aging. This Extra Brut Champagne offers a seamless interplay of fruit richness and mineral tension, balanced texture, and a long, mouth-coating finish that speaks to its care and versatility.
