Gault&Millau's review 2026

This wine seduces with its very floral nose of rose and acacia, complemented by toasty notes of citrus and green apple. After aeration, orange and cinnamon come to the fore. The clean attack reveals a harmonious palate with aromas of honey, lemon, caramel and green apple. Its smooth texture and refreshing acidity create a perfect balance. Lovely fresh almond bitters prolong an elegant finish. A successful ensemble that's ideal with seafood or can be cellared for a few months.

de Villepin
The family-owned estate cultivates just over 7 hectares in Boursault, on the slopes of the Marne, near Épernay. Bruno de Villepin is committed to environmentally friendly viticulture through grass cover and is on track to achieve organic certification in 2024. The vineyard is managed entirely using permaculture—nettles, thistles, mint, and wild strawberries are planted among the vines—and the estate uses only native yeasts. Planted primarily with Chardonnay and Meunier, part of the harvest is vinified in barrels. The lineup consists of six champagnes and one red Coteaux Champenois.
