Gault&Millau's review 2022

A little younger (2016-15 blend) with a little more dosage (4 g/l), this version of Candide is still dominated by cookies, ginger, walnuts, gingerbread, nutmeg and cinnamon, with a more elastic feel. The bubbles are lively on a biscuity, fresh palate full of life and zest, tropical fruit and caramel, with a fantastic texture, finishing with a big slap and lingering summer memories.

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.
