Freshness, precision and purity are the signature of Lombardi Champagnes. We only make use of the first press juice, whose essence is expressed only after maturing on the lees for at least 24 months, then resting in the bottle for 6 to 18 months after disgorgement. This prolonged aging process gives our wines great finesse. It brings sophisticated and complex aromas with a delicate and pure finish. Our passion for Pinot Noir, the typical grape of the region, is illustrated in our Blancs de Noirs, champagnes of character which unfold in an infinitely aromatic richness. Amateur or connoisseur, you will be seduced by the range of flavor offered in our cuvées to be enjoyed on all occasions, during an aperitif with friends or with a gourmet meal.

It has been more than ten years since the Champagne adventure started for Stéphane Lombardi. After having worked in major international groups specializing in wines and spirits, traveling the globe and discovering some of the finest terroirs and varietals, he naturally focused his attention on Champagne. This “elegant and precious” wine, as he describes it, is particularly interesting to him for its complex development, which he compares to pastry: “a mixture of technique and know-how, of chemical reactions, of patience and methodology… a blend that aims for a certain perfection in taste, offering sweetness to both the palate and the spirit”.

A native of Lyon, Stéphane Lombardi is a bit like the famous “mothers of Lyon”, who have woven the history of local gastronomy, with a rich, simple and authentic cuisine based on highest-quality products. Their recipes managed to bring together in one simple yet inviting place, both the bourgeois and the working class. It’s not surprising to find Stéphane’s Cuvée in Lyonnaise restaurants such as La Mère Brazier, Le Gourmet de Sèze…
