Champagne Pascal Lejeune
About Champagne Pascal Lejeune
Pascal Lejeune came to Champagne by an unusual route — a career in the military before falling in love with Sandrine, whose great-grandfather Edmond had been growing vines in Moussy since the early 1900s and was among the founders of the village cooperative. When Pascal and Sandrine took over the domaine in 1995, it was a deliberate new beginning — expanding the vineyards, developing a range of new cuvées, and building a reputation for precision and terroir-specificity that a small family domaine can sustain and a large house cannot.
Their son Thibaut, the latest generation, joined them in 2015.
The domaine farms 4.4 hectares across three villages on the Coteaux Sud d’Épernay — Moussy, Épernay, and Vinay — on the south-facing slopes of the left bank of the Marne. The terroir here is distinct from the Montagne de Reims and the Côte des Blancs: south-southeast exposures, a mix of clay, silt, and marl limestone, and a microclimate that gives the wines a particular freshness and texture. Meunier plays a more significant role here than in most of Champagne — the Coteaux Sud d’Épernay is Meunier country, and the Lejeune range reflects that.
Pascal was among the first producers in Champagne to plant cover crops between vine rows. Everything is hand-harvested, hand-pruned, and tended with daily attention. The domaine is certified Viticulture Durable en Champagne and Haute Valeur Environnementale — among the highest environmental certifications available to a Champagne producer.
The wines are organised into three tiers: village blends, single lieu-dit expressions from Premier Cru Pierry, and a cépage series drawing from all three villages. Output is small and the wines are made with the kind of precision that a family of this size can sustain.
