Gault&Millau's review 2025
Despite the years, the wine has kept its beautiful pale gold color. Chalky tones make their presence felt from the very first whiffs, while stone fruits (peach, pear, quetsche) attempt an aromatic breakthrough. Delicate vanilla notes enrich the bouquet with accents of furniture polish. Under creamy bubbles, the palate is both tender and intense, with aromas of stewed peach and spices (cinnamon, licorice). Slightly bitter, very salivating notes balance with a good acidity that titillates the taste buds on the finish.

Benoit Michel
Benoit Michel
Benoit Michel is a harvesting and handling winemaker based in Monthelon, representing the fifth generation of a family that has been working in the vineyards since 1847. Working alongside his father, Guy Michel, he honed his winemaking skills, emphasizing the house style and vintage focus. In 2004, Benoit became responsible for the vinification of Guy Michel champagne, and is recognized as one of the few winemakers to produce old vintages. He then decided to create his own brand, where he introduced techniques such as barrel vinification, as well as parcel-based cuvées. With the HVE and VDC labels, he cultivates the Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier grape varieties in an environmentally-friendly way, using grass cover and limiting inputs.
