THE BRAND

The Lombard champagne house , established west of the Montagne de Reims in Champagne, was founded in 1925. The birth of the house was the fruit of the passion of an agricultural engineer from Montpellier, Robert Andrieu. From 1950 to 1975, his son-in-law Philippe Lombard continued his work by increasing sales volumes. Subsequently, from 1975 to 2017, Thierry Lombard took the reins of the company and oriented its development towards the international market. In 2004, a major turning point marked the history of the house. That year, two crucial decisions were made. First, the company invested in the purchase of vines west of the Montagne de Reims, mainly classified as premier cru. This vineyard, now integrated into the property, extends over 5.5 hectares, thus constituting a precious asset for the house. At the same time, the vineyard management method has also evolved: after initial experiments with grass cover, the house opted for tillage, an approach that reflects its commitment to environmentally friendly viticultural practices. In 2017, the arrival of Thomas Lombard, Thierry's son, marked a new era for the house. The latter is notably distinguished by a fold-out back label rich in practical information. Still belonging to the eponymous family, the house has been run by Thomas Lombard since 2017, under the benevolent tutelage of his father Thierry. Laurent Vaillant, meanwhile, assumes the role of cellar master. The vineyard has been certified organic since 2022, demonstrating the House's commitment to producing quality champagnes while respecting nature.
