Gault&Millau's review 2026

A closed nose at first, which after a while takes us to the Orient with its notes of makroud, dates, then chestnut flour and white fruit. The bubbles are light and the attack soft and round. The dosage is well marked, accentuated by the greediness of the Pinot Meunier. On the finish, past the applesauce, there's a hint of 5-spice. A gourmet champagne to be drunk as it is eaten.

Christian Naudé

A few kilometers from Château-Thierry lies the village of Charly-sur-Marne, the Naudé family’s stronghold in the Aisne, a department that accounts for only 10% of the Champagne wine-growing region. It is in this village, on these terroirs, and in this clay-limestone soil that Magali and Geoffroy tend to their 5 hectares of vineyards, planted almost exclusively with Meunier. In fact, Meunier reigns supreme in the single-vineyard cuvée *L’Hommage*, vintage 2019. As for the rest of their deliberately limited lineup, Meunier shares the spotlight with a bit of Pinot Noir and, at times, a touch of Chardonnay—or both.
