Gault&Millau's review

2023 93/100

Tasty nose in a natural style, with aromas of hazelnut and toast, followed by controlled oxidative and spicy notes. On the palate, the Pinots are greedy and fine at the same time, with a beautiful vibrancy but above all a true and powerful length. An unending finish that makes us want to come back for more.

Laurent Bénard

The estate is located in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, in a renowned village classified as a premier cru. Certified organic, Laurent Bénard and his wife have also opted for certification of their cellar practices since 2012. Soil tillage, no sulfur added at bottling, wood ageing and low dosage are daily practices in the quest for authentic champagnes. As an engineer, Laurent Bénard sees organic farming as a means to an end, and not an end in itself, in the service of producing champagnes that are currently highly sought-after. The house style tends towards subtle oxidative notes, making them remarkable table companions. Selective distribution in the on-trade.
