Vincent Assailly, broad-shouldered and Viking-like in stature, is a vigneron based in Avize, one of the most prestigious villages of the Côte des Blancs. Since 2000, he has been at the helm of Champagne Assailly-Leclaire et Fils, that farms 11 hectares of Chardonnay. Founded by his great-grandfather in 1899, the estate has seen a lineage of passionate men, beginning with his son Maurice, who became team leader at Perrier-Jouët. From Maurice’s marriage to Marie-Louise Leclaire came Christian — and also the creation of Champagne Mongamin, an affectionate nickname he gave his son. It was the first time in the family’s history that the grower vinified his own harvest. Finally in 1948, the House’s name changed to Assailly-Leclaire et Fils. Christian and his wife Jacqueline took the reins, growing the estate from 3 to 11 hectares and significantly elevating the quality of the Champagnes. The tradition lives on today through Vincent — to our great delight when tasting.
Integrated winegrowing
A great wine before being a great Champagne, with a nose of pear, peach, butter-roasted pineapple and a hint of violet. The palate is vinous and dense, mineral and structured, with beautiful tension and notes of dried fruits. Powerful, long finish, both chalky and saline.

A bold, expressive nose of candied citrus, mirabelle plum, mimosa and toasted bread — somewhere between spring and summer... On the palate: fine, swift bubbles with a silky texture, lovely energy, aromas of honey and yellow flowers. The finish is chalky, with a subtle saline edge.

Wide-open nose of bergamot, stone fruits, and toasted baguette, like a summer breeze… Palate: quick, fine bubbles, soft and seamless texture, lifted by a lovely acidity. Notes of mirabelle plum, Reine Claude, and a touch of bitter almond. Fresh, zesty, and long finish.

A rich and pastry-driven nose—truly irresistible! Think nougat, candied fruits, mandarin... waow! The palate is dense, creamy, and generous, with aromas evolving toward brioche and candied fruit. Thin bubbles, slow, and graceful—everything about this wine is simply sublime.

A wildly charming nose with notes of raspberry, rosebud, black cherry, and long pepper. The palate is tender, with mellow bubbles and acidity, carrying lovely freshness. Flavors of marshmallow, violet, and cherry... an absolute treat! Long, zesty finish.

An exceptional Champagne with great ageing potential. The nose opens on exotic fruits, butter and vanilla, with a hint of fresh herbs. The palate is broad, dense and silky, with a velvety texture. The finish is incredibly long, chalky and saline.

An intense nose that takes us on a journey—roasted pineapple to quince paste, with notes of praline, honey, and a hint of undergrowth... Deeply concentrated, with ultra-fine bubbles and a velvety, creamy, caressing texture. The finish is incredibly long, on brioche and salted butter.

A complex wine with notes of butter, hazelnut, fig, and a hint of toast. The palate is generous and warm, offering dried fruit aromas, slow and fine effervescence, finishing powerful and mouthwatering. Perfect with a clam risotto.
