Tasting notes

A Premier Cru Brut blend of roughly one-third each Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, and Chardonnay showing a fine bead, aromas of lemon curd and toasty brioche, with ripe fruit notes over brisk minerality. Full malolactic fermentation gives the wine a creamy mouthfeel while acidity keeps it fresh. More info

See here our shipping policy.

Important Compliance Requirements

FedEx and other carriers we might occasionally use can only deliver wine to customers who are 21 years or older. Someone must be at the address to receive the package; carriers don't just drop a package and leave. They must ensure the person receiving the wine is 21 or older. Shipping to PO Boxes is not allowed.

Ship to a FedEx Store

If nobody can be at your address to sign for the package, you can have your order sent to a FedEx store instead. Enter your preferred FedEx store as the shipping address at checkout and we'll ship your order there. Once it arrives, you have 5 business days to pick it up, and you'll need to show your ID.

Re-shipping a Package

If a package is returned to us after three failed delivery attempts, we can only re-ship the wine upon payment of a re-shipping fee, to be determined based on the shipping address and number of bottles. Shipping wine is extremely expensive. We are sorry about this, but we have no other choice. Please make sure there's always someone at the address you enter as your shipping address.

If you'd like to receive a refund for a package that was returned to us after FedEx made three delivery attempts, we can do that but we must keep a $20 refund fee; FedEx charges us a lot of money for returns, unfortunately, I can't stress this enough.

Re-routing a Package

If you'd like to reroute a package after it's been shipped, we can do so for a $20 re-routing fee. We cannot re-route a package across state borders. For any change of address, please contact us as soon as possible, ideally within 1-2 days from placing the order or we cannot guarantee we'll be able to reroute or change your order's shipping address.

Canceling an Order

If you'd like to cancel an order after it's been shipped, we can do so upon payment of a small cancellation fee – the amount depends on the size of the order. Carriers charge us a lot of money to recall a package en-route.

Heat/Frost damage

We are not responsible for heat- or frost-related issues. We offer ice packs upon request, at a cost, but even so, we can't be held liable if it's 104 where you are and corks pop. Please let us know if you think that there could be heat-related issues. If we don't hear anything from you regarding weather issues before an order is shipped, or if you don't request a hold due to the weather, we are not responsible for heat/frost damage.

Placed an order. What next?

1. You will receive an order confirmation email with your order summary.*

2. As soon as your order ships from the warehouse, usually within 2-3 business days, this applies to all shipping rates, you will receive a shipping confirmation email with your tracking information. 2DAY shipping refers to shipping time; we still need 2-3 business days to prepare an order. We need to pick and pack, QA, add printed collateral, and palletize the orders.

3. Please track your package using the tracking service.

4. The carrier will attempt delivery a maximum of 3 times. After 3 delivery attempts, your package will be sent back to our warehouse.**

*Please ensure your email address is correct; otherwise, you will not receive the order and shipping confirmation emails.

**If delivery is attempted 3 times without success, or if you fail to retrieve your package from the carrier depot by the stated deadline, the shipping fee will not be refunded to the customer.

Returns Policy

If you are not satisfied with your purchase, please contact us at (424) 414-2040 or via e-mail at hello@primalwine.com between 9 am and 5 pm Pacific Standard Time, Monday through Sunday, we would like to understand and try to solve your concerns. We can offer refunds only as store credit.

Producer profile

J. Lassalle

Jules Lassalle established this family-owned Champagne house in 1942 in the village of Chigny-les-Roses on the Montagne de Reims. When he passed away in 1982, winemaking fell to his wife Olga, then passed to her daughter Chantal, and in 2006 to Chantal's daughter Angéline. The three women at the head of the house are Angéline Templier, her mother Chantal Decelle-Lassalle, and her grandmother Olga Lassalle. The estate produces an average of 150,000 bottles a year. It works as a Récoltant Manipulant, making its Champagnes exclusively from grapes grown on its own parcels.

The vineyards spread over 45 parcels in the villages of Chigny-les-Roses, Ludes, Montbré, Puisieulx, Rilly-la-Montagne, Sermiers, and Villers-Allerand. Across 16 hectares, the plantings are 52 percent Meunier, 22 percent Pinot Noir, and 26 percent Chardonnay. The vines are between 35 and 55 years old. Organic methods are used in the vineyards. The holdings are classified as Premier Cru and Grand Cru. Harvest generally occurs in September, 100 to 110 days after flowering.

All bottles are still riddled by hand, and the estate still uses the traditional press installed in 1965 by Jules Lassalle. The family follows the vinification methods established by Jules in the 1940s, using the same wooden basket press and pressing and vinifying the individual plots separately. Every bottle is riddled by hand, and all cuvées are aged extensively once in bottle. The rosé is made in the traditional oeil de perdrix style. A total of 100,000 bottles are produced each year across the range. The Cachet Or draws on vines averaging 50 years old planted to limestone and clay soils.

Wine region

Champagne, France

Champagne is a delimited appellation in northeastern France, roughly 150 kilometres east of Paris, at about 49 degrees latitude. Its cool semi-continental climate and chalk subsoil produce the high-acidity base wines essential to sparkling wine, with an oceanic Atlantic influence meeting a continental influence from the east. About 80 million years ago an inland sea covered northern France, and the skeletons of marine microorganisms, including belemnites, formed limestone layers up to 200 metres deep. Champagne's chalk divides into two biozones, the upper belemnite and the lower micraster, named for the sea urchin fossils it contains. Belemnite chalk sits primarily on the mid and upper slopes and is linked to increased acidity, with most Grand Cru villages situated on it. The Côte des Bar in the south instead rests on Kimmeridgian marl.

The geographical boundaries were fixed by a 1927 law. The Champagne AOC was formally established by decree on 29 June 1936, covering roughly 34,300 hectares across 319 villages in five departments, with wines made exclusively by the traditional method and secondary fermentation completed in the bottle. Three grapes dominate: Pinot Noir provides structure, Meunier roundness and frost tolerance, and Chardonnay citrus precision and mineral lift. The Échelle des Crus, established in 1919, ranks villages on a percentage scale, with 17 Grand Cru villages at 100 percent and around 44 Premier Cru villages at 90 to 99 percent. Five production areas run north to south: Montagne de Reims, Vallée de la Marne, Côte des Blancs, Côte de Sézanne, and the Côte des Bar. J. Lassalle farms Premier Cru vineyards in Chigny-les-Roses on the Montagne de Reims.
