Gault&Millau's review 2027

A discreet nose, followed by notes of white fruit, lily of the valley and lemon. Aeration gives it a better expression, with pear and a touch of acacia honey. The bubbles are discreet and the texture is delicate. The finish leaves a hint of bitters from the ageing process. A light, accessible champagne.

Trained in Beaune, Christian brings his expertise, particularly in aging in oak barrels, which lends complexity and character to their champagnes.
