Gault&Millau's review 2023

A blend of chardonnay and pinot meunier for this "Ancestrale Vintage" cuvée, which comes alive with fine, clean bubbles. The nose is marked by very ripe exotic fruit and ginger aromas. On the palate, the wine delivers lovely spicy notes, an airy bubble and good overall balance. The finish is saline. A champagne for connoisseurs, with the right dosage, to be served with risotto.

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. Certified HVE and VDC for nearly 10 years, 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.
