Gault&Millau's review 2026

An evolving nose with hints of pear brandy opens onto a fruity palate, where citrus and apricot meet ripe yellow fruit. The fine bubbles bring a pleasant, salivating acidity, balanced by a touch of vanilla and a certain roundness. A wine that will benefit from some time in the cellar.

Christian Bourmault

Ernest Bourmault, originally from Sarthe, settled in Champagne in 1865. Since then, every generation has worked the vines. Christian Bourmault farms 6.5 ha, including 4 ha of Chardonnay in Avize and Cuis, and 2.5 ha of Pinot Noir in the Marne valley. The vines are all grown according to the principles of organic agriculture, but are not certified. All wines are vinified in oak barrels, and most are barrel-aged for seven or eight months before bottling. The family owns one of the rare Clos de la Champagne, Clos Bourmault, a pure Chardonnay that has been cellared for a long time and corked the old-fashioned way, using hemp twine.
