About the Speaker:
The Landragin family traces back to the 1500s to the town of Rethel, in the Ardennes Département of Champagne, about 50 miles from Reims. Here at the crossroads of this historic trade-route, the Landragin’s were known as notable wool merchants. The Landragin family branched out from textiles to vineyard ownership and established land holdings in Verzenay in 1772. This began the multi-generational story of the Landragin’s ongoing love affair and lifetime commitment to the vine and wine.
Dominique’s grandfather, René Robert, was the first of the family to work with Champagne Veuve Clicquot as the Verzy Grand Cru Regional Viticulturist and Manager, from 1900 to 1945. Dominique’s father, Pierre Gustave Landragin, followed suite and took the a position at Veuve Clicquot in Verzy in the 1930s, then moved on to assume the role of Vineyard Manager at the Champagne Heidsieck Monopole where he managed vines both in Bouzy and in Verzenay. Pierre then chose to expand as a grower and, in 1952, oversaw the production of his namesake champagne, Champagne Landragin, under the classification of 'Récoltant Manipulant' or 'Grower Champagne.'"
