History · Since 1976
A house, a legacy.
More than a champagne, we share a family, a story, a direct bond with the terroir.
Chapter I
The origins
An independent winemaker in Champagne, Maison Guy Larmandier was founded in 1976 by Guy and Colette, heir to five generations of family know-how passed down with rigor and passion. Each generation has preserved its inheritance while bringing its own vision — combining respect for tradition with carefully measured innovation.
Set at the heart of our terroir, our vines receive constant care, from working the soil to the harvest, gathered with attention to preserve all the quality of the grape. True to the spirit of independent winemakers, we oversee every stage of our champagnes' creation: tending the vines, vinification, blending and distribution.
The continuity
Since 2000, François and Marie-Hélène have carried on Guy's work alongside Colette, perpetuating a style of elegance, freshness and character. In 2024, Marie-Hélène's children — Jean-Philippe, Pierre-Louis and Inès — joined the house in turn, bringing renewed momentum and modernity while inscribing themselves in the family's continuity.
Beyond the wine, our commitment is also a human one: to share our story, our passion, and to offer a sincere experience — close to those who taste our champagnes.

The founders
Guy & Colette
In 1976, Guy and Colette Larmandier laid the foundations of the house. A winegrower at heart, Guy shaped the style: a champagne true to its terroir, to the chalk and chardonnay of the Côte des Blancs. Alongside him, Colette balanced family life with her work through rightness, determination and dedication. Together, they built an identity rooted in the art of living and the art of being — an epicurean philosophy that remains the soul of the estate today.
The family
Three generations, one same land.
From Guy, the founder, to the children growing up among the rows of chardonnay — the house is passed on like a way of life.
Our character
Tradition
This complete mastery allows us to craft authentic cuvées, true reflections of our identity and the richness of our plots. Each bottle expresses a balance of tradition, precision and character, with a constant pursuit of elegance and finesse.
