Gault&Millau's review 2021
The signature effervescence of this estate's cuvées is again found in this cuvée: very, very fine, elegant bubbles. The first, rather discreet nose opens up with aeration to citrus zest and almond. As it evolves, notes of iodine and exotic fruits (passion fruit, pineapple, lime) appear, titillated by hints of brioche. On the palate, the wine delivers a certain suavity and delicacy, with an original, unctuous texture, supported by notes of tart white fruit, green apple, fresh redcurrants and rhubarb. Rising acidity makes the palate salivate, but contrasts with honeyed notes on the finish. Chalky minerality adds an extra touch to the long finish. A bottle still too young to drink now. Cellar it for a long time before uncorking!

Alfred Gratien
Alfred Gratien
In 1864, Alfred Gratien, already founder of Gratien & Meyer in Saumur, created this house in Épernay. In 2000, it passed into the hands of Henkell & Co, a German group producing sekt (German sparkling wine). These champagnes have always struck with their distinctive style, thanks to a real bias: a high proportion of pinot meunier for the brut, barrel fermentation and the absence of malolactic fermentation to enhance aging capacity. Indeed, these gourmet champagnes need long ageing to reveal their full potential. The "Memory" cuvées are divine examples of this. Since 2009, the cellar manager has been Nicolas Jaeger, a friendly, methodical character.
