Gault&Millau's review

2018 91/100

Clearly creamy, this Grand Vintage boasts a brilliant gold color of great brilliance, where the dense effervescence produces numerous, very fine, scattered bubbles. The greedy nose develops notes of stewed yellow fruit, Pithiviers and almond cookie. The rich, full-bodied palate is chewy and long, expressing flavors of stewed citrus fruit with a hint of licorice. A champagne for meals, to be paired with cotriade and chaource.

José Michel et Fils

On the slopes of the village of Moussy, close to Epernay, the family house of José Michel et Fils is one of the oldest in the area owning vineyards since 1847. The adventure began in the nineteenth century with Paul Michel (1860-1936) who was the first to harvest their grapes and began the first bottling in 1912. José Michel has been the winemaker since 1955 and with concerns aout quality, he adapts each of the three grape varieties with ideal soils and site exposures. The continuity of the family line continues with his three sons and grandchildren. The estate has been certified High Environmental Value (HVE) since 2014.
