坐落在Les Riceys村,位於Côte des Bar - 一個專門種植pinot 及Meunier 嘅區域。Les Riceys不僅是香檳區最大的釀酒村,亦都係唯一地區除可以生產香檳外,更可以法定生產著名嘅Rosé des Riceys 及Coteaux Champenois (Rosé 及Red Wine ,有機會一定要試下)。
Gallimard莊園已經係六代相傳。1930年,Jules和他的兒子Ernest Gallimard,作為葡萄農,生產了他們的第一瓶香檳。宜家由Arnaud 掌舵。
自1986年以來,酒莊獲得了多個champagne guides的獎項,如 “Guide Hachette des Vins”,以及不同的葡萄酒挑戰賽獎。
他們的葡萄園共12公頃,8成半種pinot, 餘下種Chardonnay. Arnaud 喺陳釀上除咗會用oak barrel 外,更會用上蛋型嘅clay amphora,及perpetual Solera reserve wines添。
Located in the village of Les Riceys, in the heart of the côte des Bar, the Gallimard domain has been passed on from father to son for 6 generations.
Today Didier and Arnaud orchestrate together our 12 Hectares (29 acres) of vineyard, brought to life using viticulture of conviction and sustainability. Respect for the environment, harmony with nature annd the expression of our terroir characterize the foundations of our values.
The Gallimard family, develop their Champagnes with the greatest respect for tradition and modern winemaking. In 1930, Jules and his son Ernest Gallimard, winegrowers, produced their first bottles of Champagne. They were succeeded by Pierre, then Jean, and now Didier and his son Arnaud Gallimard.
Our winemaking uses the fewest interventions possible. We search for the perfect balance between the expression of our terroir and the hand of man which draws it forth, offering an invitation to discovery and the generosity which characterizes it. Single varietal, single vintage, perfect dosages, particular aging (oak barrels and egg-shaped clay amphora), or perpetual Solera reserve wines, represent just some of the numerous characteristics of our domain.
Since 1986 the estate has received work and products awards from several wine guides such as “Guide Hachette des Vins”, as well as a large number of gold medals from different wine challenges, for example “Les Meilleurs Chardonnays du Monde”, “Concours Agricole de Paris”, and “Mondial du Vin de Bruxelles”.
Our 12 hectares vineyard is located at Les Riceys, which is not only the largest wine-making village in the Champagne region, but the village is also the sole holder of 3 appellations of the region (Champagne, Coteaux Champenois, and the famous Rosé des Riceys).
Our pinot noir vineyard is a specific and unique terroir which not only brings an exceptional maturity to our pinots noir but provides grapes particularly adapted to the maceration (" La saignée") necessary to make our Champagne Rosé as well as our Rosé des Riceys.
By exercising good judgment in our vine-growing practice we are also conforming to protection of the environment. Our vineyard is mainly planted with 85% pinot noir and 15 % chardonnay, pruned in Guyot, Cordon de Royat and Chablis.
