Gault&Millau's review
2019 94/100
Sourire de Reims is the result of a selection of the finest vintages from the Montagne de Reims and Côte des Blancs regions: it is the house's spearhead. The brilliant straw-gold color envelops a delectable olfactory bouquet of full-bodied, toasty scents, fruits à l'eau de vie, and a finish of peppery mint. On the palate, the clean, chiselled attack reveals flavors of citrus and fresh fruit, with a spicy finish. This is the signature of a great vintage, the 2008. Enjoy as an aperitif or with a festive meal, with Bresse poultry in mourning.

Abelé 1757
Since its foundation in the mid-18th century, Abelé 1757 has been one of Champagne's finest references. Faithful to the vision of its founders, the region's fifth-oldest house has always maintained the same spirit: to produce exceptional, made-to-measure, long-maturing wines. All Abelé 1757 cuvées are crafted in very limited quantities. This craftsmanship has guided the company for over 250 years.
