Gault&Millau's review 2027

Wood comes to the fore from the very first whiff, enveloped by a generous array of spices—nutmeg, cardamom, licorice, and star anise—before giving way to roasted notes and cocoa. The texture is velvety, the bubbles creamy, supported by lovely structure and lively citrus notes. A champagne for the table, made to enhance sweetbreads.

Lafalise Froissart

This family-owned estate, based in Verzenay (Grand Cru), is run by Paul Froissart, who took over the business from his grandparents in 2016, the year he produced his first vintages. He represents the sixth generation of winemakers on this 5-hectare estate, whose champagnes are crafted from meticulous plot-by-plot selections. Grass cover between the vine rows helps keep the soil alive, while shallow plowing renews this vegetation cover. With winemaking conducted entirely in barrels, amphorae, or stainless-steel tanks, the cuvées retain the minerality of their terroirs.
