Gault&Millau's review 2027

On the nose, there’s no doubt about it: this is an aged wine with notes of mushrooms and candied orange, as well as a hint of earthiness reminiscent of a Negroni. On the palate, the attack remains fresh, supported by a persistent effervescence, while the aftertaste of smoked meat makes your mouth water. The indulgent finish blends almond paste, walnuts, and raisins, ending with notes of cedar and a slight medicinal sensation. A unique cuvée reserved for those who enjoy bold experiences.

J.M. Tissier

Since 1931, the Tissier family, originally from Chavot-Courcourt—a town located on the southern slopes of Épernay—has been cultivating vineyards. They use neither herbicides nor insecticides on their 6-hectare estate. The vineyard’s grape varieties consist of 40% Chardonnay, 40% Pinot Meunier, and 20% Pinot Noir. Wine is made in tanks, but also partly in barrels, depending on the cuvée. Jacques and Marie-Christine now run the estate, assisted by their son Anthony, who was named “Young Talent of Champagne” in 2021.
