Gault&Millau's review 2025

Pure indulgence, with mouth-watering pastry aromas of butter brioche and panettone, stewed mirabelle plums, toasted sliced bread, peach tart, warm baguette... like a tempting showcase from a great name in pastry. After such complexity, the palate seems a little backward, with a bright, acidic texture that balances out with the tenderness of white fruit and oriental pastries (makroud au pruneau, corne de gazelle). The light acidity makes you salivate, and the pretty bitters on the finish leave the palate clean, ready for a second sip. A springtime wine to awaken souls at the end of winter, to be served with sweet and savory dishes.

They enjoy a worldwide reputation for the purtiy and the incisive style of their champagnes. The cuvée Terre de Vertus is a Premier Cru coming from Les Barillers and Les Faucherets, located from plots in the middle of the hillside at Vertus and facing south-east. Special mention to the cuvée Vieille Vigne du Levant, an extra-brut grand cru (formerly known as Vieille Vigne de Cramant) which derives its sapidity from the deeply rooted vines aged 50 to 80 years.
