Lallier Champagne Series R Code

Since September 2015 Champagne Lallier has changed their label on their champagnes in their Permanent

collection.

New Code on Label

In fairly decent size letters there is a new code on the label informing us of the harvest year for the wine.

Here is an example code  R.2012.  The R represents the first letter of Recolte which is French for "harvest". Therefore R.012 represents the house style of Lallier  using  mostly the grapes of the 2012 harvest with the balance comprising of reserve wines.


This is not a vintage champagne. It is the Lallier house style which over time will show how the predominate harvest year has an effect during its ageing.
