Alexis Limar
This young domain, founded by Alexis Limar, has only existed since 2023, when he took over the vineyards from his grandfather, who retired. The vineyards are located in the villages of La-Neuville-aux-Larris, Cuchery and Belval-sous-Châtillon (Vallée de la Marne) as well as in the Grand Cru village of Mailly-Champagne (Montagne de Reims). Here, he and his wife Jeanne cultivate 3 hectares of Pinot Noir, Meunier and Chardonnay.
Alexis learnt the winemaking trade at the Viti Campus in Avize and was able to deepen his knowledge on his grandfather's farm. Alexis' first two champagnes from the 2018 vintage already bear his signature. His grandfather also gave him a free hand when he decided to completely avoid the use of pesticides and herbicides in the vineyard. Wherever possible, he dispenses with heavy equipment and concentrates on manual labour in the truest sense of the word.
In the cellar, the wines are fermented spontaneously, neither fined nor filtered and given a long yeast ageing period. Alexis initially matured everything in steel tanks, but since 2023 has exclusively used small Burgundian wooden barrels for fermentation and ageing.
Alexis Limar's champagnes are low in dosage and emphasise minerality and freshness. Restrained fruit and fine yeast notes create balanced, slender and extremely elegant champagnes.

New Discoveries – 4-Bottle Tasting Pack Labruyère & Limar
Sometimes it's the newest discoveries that leave the strongest impression. With Alexis Limar and the two new Premier Cru single-vineyard Champagnes from Champagne Labruyère, we are delighted to introduce four wines that perfectly illustrate the exciting direction the new generation of Champagne is taking.Alexis Limar only took over his grandfather's small family estate in 2023, yet he has already developed a remarkably distinctive style. Across just three hectares of vineyards, he crafts Champagnes defined by precision, freshness and character. In the cellar, he relies on spontaneous fermentation, ageing exclusively in small Burgundy barrels, and avoids both fining and filtration. The result is a range of authentic, terroir-driven Champagnes with a strong sense of individuality.Labruyère, too, places terroir at the heart of its philosophy. With the new Premier Cru vineyards Rilly-la-Montagne and Ludes, the house expands its collection with two uncompromising single-vineyard Champagnes, both produced without dosage and expressing nothing but the character of their respective sites. Rilly-la-Montagne, a pure Pinot Noir, offers an open, juicy and remarkably precise expression of its terroir, while Ludes, a blend of Pinot Noir and Meunier, impresses with its powerful structure and remarkable depth. Both wines are entirely barrel-aged and beautifully demonstrate how two neighbouring Premier Cru vineyards can produce such distinctive expressions.The pack includes:Alexis Limar Nos Terres Amoureuses Brut NatureAlexis Limar Les Pieds dans la Terre 2020Labruyère 1er Cru – Rilly-la-MontagneLabruyère 1er Cru – LudesIncluding detailed producer information cards.4 bottles including tasting discount.Enjoy discovering!Your ChaCha Team
