Gault&Millau's review 2027

Produced using organic farming methods, this champagne offers a rich, indulgent bouquet featuring notes of rose petals, fresh raspberries, citrus, grenadine syrup, and cherries. A few floral notes emerge, such as peony and lavender. The attack is both crisp and rounded; you can sense the juiciness typical of red wine, with a concentration of raspberries and cherries that delivers a lovely, juicy mouthfeel and a hint of bitterness on the finish. It’s intense—a spicy dish would be ideal, such as grilled white meat and pomegranate rice, to pair with a second glass!

A. Leconte

A family-owned estate located in Troissy—not far from Dormans—for six generations. The vineyard is planted primarily with Meunier, though Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are gradually being introduced across the 40 plots that make up the 10-hectare vineyard. This rich soil is harnessed in single-plot wines, for which Alexis Leconte, head of production, favors barrel aging.
