Champagne Jamart (E. Jamart & Cie) is a family house in Saint-Martin-d'Ablois, with roots going back to 1936. Four generations have now carried on the work there.
History Baker Emilien Jamart became the owner of the buildings of a wine estate in 1930. Abundant harvests and poor sales led him to take payment for his pressing services in wine. Drawing on the experience of his father-in-law Albert Mootz, a caviste at Moët & Chandon, he began making wine himself and became a wine merchant; by gradually acquiring vineyards he became an owner and champagne merchant.
Approach The cuvées are made with one of the oldest presses in Champagne: a traditional press over 140 years old that still presses the whole harvest. The wines go through malolactic fermentation without cold stabilisation. The Intemporelles age 18 to 24 months on the lees, the Exceptionnelles at least 5 years.
