Gault&Millau's review 2025

A cocoon of sweetness... From the very first aromas, we are surrounded by gourmand notes of almond, toasted bread, lemon curd and spices. Gentle woody notes provide support. After a chiselled attack, the enveloping bubbles accompany notes of exotic fruit and a light woodiness.

Alain David

This family-run winery is located in Boursault, a small wine-growing village in the Marne Valley. Winegrowers for four generations, they have been producing their own champagnes since 2013 and are HVE3-certified. Benoit David, the current manager, cultivates 4.35 hectares of vineyards, slightly more than half of which are planted with Meunier. The consistency of their champagnes stems from the expression of their house style (grass cover, sustainable pest management, and plot-by-plot harvesting). For extended visits, the winemakers also offer lodging in their guesthouse, “Bienvenue dans notre vendangeoir.”
