It all started in ECUEIL, 12 generations of winegrowers ago, with Nicaise LACOURTE (back in 1630).
We were then preparing non-sparkling red and white wines, initially for clergymen and later for merchants.
Soon after the war, in 1947, Henri LACOURTE took a leap of faith and jumped into the production of Champagne under the brand name LACOURTE-LABASSE. Then, in 1959, Yves LACOURTE (the son) got married with Jeanine GUILLEMART of the neighbouring village and they created the brand LACOURTE-GUILLEMART.
It's in 2000 that, with Christine, we took over the business. Conscious of what a wonderful heritage is in our hands, and of our mission to keep it alive, we strive to carry on a tradition of quality and continue to make and market our own Champagne.
