Abel Lepitre

1924: It is in the little village of Ludes-le-Coquet, nestled at the foot of the hills of the Grande Montagne de Reims, with little financeal means, where Abel Lepitre (1900-1940) created his House of Champagne in 1924 and which to this day, still bears his name.

Originating from a family of winegrowers, Abel Lepitre perfectly mastered the techniques of both wine and champagne production. He quickly succeeded in producing wine that had an enviable place in the French market, and, in exports. By the end of the Second World War, the house of Abel Lepitre dispatched approximately 100,000 packages per year, in an era where Champagne production did not normally surpass 25 million bottles.

2009: Abel Lepitre was a very famous brand in the the 80s (surpassing the millions of bottles, ranked 17th in its profession), and was inactive for a decade to our great regret. It is a brand, for which Godefroy BAIJOT (manager of GB WINES) has a particular fondness. It is because of this, it has been carefully reworked to meet the same premium standing as wines. Today, the brand Abel Lepitre is a well recognized export brand, thanks to the development of GB WINES. Take a detour in one of your trips and you will be able to appreciate it in England, Italy, Luxembourg all the way the Netherlands, Slovakia…and even in India!
