Gault&Millau's review 2022

From its lemon-yellow color to its seductive nose of cookies and yellow fruit tarts, this champagne reveals great concentration and richness. The mousse is substantial but light, with crisp, light bubbles. The palate is marked by rich, silky acidity, ripe fruit and delicious textures of cookie and caramel fudge, all perfectly balanced to create a light, yet concentrated, gourmet wine despite the zero dosage. A perfect match for savory petit fours. A real favorite!

Durdon-Bouval

This family-run vineyard, certified organic since 2013 and Demeter-certified since 2023, cultivates nearly 8 hectares of vineyards between Verneuil, Vincelles, Passy-sur-Marne, and Barzy-sur-Marne. Each generation—now the fourth and fifth—brings its own perspective and sensibility, all with the same goal: to reveal the personality of their terroirs. The wines are aged partly in barrels and partly in tanks, then cellared for many years. Led by Ludovic and Sandie Durdon, along with their children Antoine and Sipriane, the estate offers excellent quality across its entire range.
