HISTORY
The relationship between Lamotte's familly and the village of Champillon predates the French Revolution. It is primarily the job of a lumberjack exercised Jean-Baptiste Lamotte, a contemporary of Louis XVI and his son François-Charles Lamotte, born in 1801 Champillon. Two of Francois-Charles’s sons, François-Victor and Jules Lamotte, begin to plant and cultivate the vine in Champillon in the mid-nineteenth century. Two generations later René Lamotte, born in 1902, and his sister Henriette, born in 1906, decided to develop and market their champagne with grapes from their vineyard. The first bottles of Champagne R&H Lamotte will be sold during the interwar period. Nearly a century later, Edouard GUILLEPAIN, great grandson of René Lamotte, still operatespassionately a large part of the family estate, continuing the work of six generations of winemakers.
