Gault&Millau's review
2025 88/100
Has this super-confidential cuvée (only 200 bottles produced) found the secret to eternal youth? With its pale gold color, beautiful effervescence and fresh nose, you'd think so. Lovely floral fragrances evoke springtime in Normandy, with notes of cherry, apple and pompon rose. After 20 years on the lees, the palate is incredibly fresh, enriched by delicate notes of toast and buttered brioche, while citrus fruits awaken the finish.

Franck Rivière
After a career as a concert artist, Franck Rivière took over the family vineyards. His daughter Louison Rivière, the fifth generation, is now at the head of Champagne Franck Rivière. This confidential 2-hectare estate is planted with 100% Chardonnay grapes in the Grand Cru village of Cramant. Louison works the entire estate using organic farming methods, with high environmental value not claimed. The names of the cuvées recall his father's musical career.
