Lacroix-Triaulaire
The Maison Lacroix-Triaulaire is located in Merrey-sur-Arce, one of the most fascinating and sometimes underrated areas of Champagne, in the Aube region. The company is led by the brothers Théodore and Marie-Claire, who represent the new generation of vignerons indépendants, or independent winemakers. Champagne Lacroix-Triaulaire stands out for its uncompromising organic production, working with a strong respect for nature and terroir. The bubbles produced by this company are the expression of a passion for natural viticulture and a pleasure in drinking that is reflected in the quality and freshness of its wines. Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier are the main grape varieties of this house, with Pinot Noir giving rise to a particularly interesting extra-brut and Pinot Meunier being rich in flowers and honey.
The production philosophy of Maison Lacroix-Triaulaire is based on a careful separation of parcels and grape varieties during vinification. The goal is to create structured and complex Champagnes, while also being easy to appreciate, reflecting the authenticity of the terroir. Théodore follows a vinification process that includes alcoholic fermentation in temperature-controlled tanks or barrels and a systematic malolactic fermentation, which contributes to the softness of the wines. Each cuvée is designed to enhance the expressiveness of the individual grape varieties and to create harmony between structure, freshness, and complexity. The connection to the territory is central: the company's ambition is to develop true stories of the terroir, which tell the history of the maison through its wines, mature and round, but also easily accessible.
Despite the young age of the maison, Lacroix-Triaulaire has already carved out a special place in the universe of Champagne thanks to its futuristic vision and the quality of its products. The brothers Théodore and Marie-Claire do not limit themselves to wine production, but are also passionate about experimentation. Théodore, in particular, has developed an interest in creating original spirits, which are aged in barrels for 10-20 years. The company also stands out for its innovative approach to sustainability, with organic viticulture practices aimed at reducing environmental impact and preserving the biodiversity of the territory. Their long-term commitment, combined with solid technical and cultural training, promises to make Lacroix-Triaulaire an increasingly influential name in the international wine scene.
