Gault&Millau's review 2027

This oak-aged champagne offers a delicate nose with relatively well-integrated oak, notes of vanilla and shredded coconut that blend with peach and dried mango. There are hints of toasted bread and hazelnut. On the palate, the attack is crisp, with an almost biting acidity; the bubbles are subtle but present. The finish is still dominated by the oak, and the tannins are slightly drying—proof that it still has aging potential. The finish is long and spicy, marked by power and refined tension. Pair with a pork loin glazed with honey and five-spice powder.

Laborde

Delphine and Pierre-Emmanuel took over the family vineyards in Nogent-l’Abesse in 2017. Their 5.70-hectare vineyard is 95% planted with Chardonnay on Mont Berru, where the limestone subsoil lends finesse and elegance to this grape variety. They are committed to preserving biodiversity and the vitality of their soils by avoiding all herbicides and chemical fertilizers. The wines are vinified in small stainless-steel tanks and oak barrels with minimal intervention to allow the wine’s full potential to shine through. The house has been marketing its champagnes since March 2023.
