Lombard Champagne is a prestigious style of champagne produced in the Champagne region of France, named after the pioneering Lombard family who helped establish the traditional methods of champagne production in the 19th century. Using a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier grapes, Lombard Champagne is characterized by a rich, full-bodied flavor profile with notes of fruit, yeast, and toasted brioche.
The champagne undergoes extended aging on the lees, which contributes to its complex, developed character. Lombard Champagne houses like Lombard et Cie and Lombard et Fils are highly regarded for their skillful expression of the region's unique terroir.
