Gault&Millau's review 2027

Intense rose-gold in color, this cuvée reveals a subtly smoky nose, blending brioche and buttery notes. On the palate, the balance is remarkable: a tangy, salivating attack, a creamy texture carried by fine, playful bubbles. Barrel ageing adds complexity and character, with vanilla, cocoa and hints of lemon balm. The fruity, delicately bitter finish leaves a gourmet freshness. A little sweet with character.

Mathieu-Nicolas

Robert, the grandfather of Mathieu and Nicolas, developed the family vineyard in Cuchery, a small village southwest of Reims. Today, the two brothers continue to share their grandfather’s conviction—he used to say that a well-maintained vineyard stands the test of time. This is certainly true of this 4.96-hectare vineyard, which spans the villages of Cuchery, Cuisles, Jonquery, Fleury-la-Rivière, and Damery, on soils that are predominantly clay-limestone. Their champagnes are crafted with minimal intervention to extract the essence that most faithfully reflects the terroir. The two brothers co-founded the association Les Greffons de la Vallée, a collective of winemakers that fosters collaboration and showcases the work of these artisans from the Marne Valley.
