Gault&Millau's review 2027

A subtle and charming nose, with notes of honey, vanilla, and subtle woody hints. The palate, generous and mouth-watering, reveals a beautiful aromatic richness: mango, roasted pineapple, baked apple, and a hint of buttery almond, enhanced by a delicate touch of clove. A seductive and enveloping balance, the perfect companion to roast poultry.

Michel Lenique

Led by Alexandre Lenique, this family-owned, independent winery is located in Pierry, a Premier Cru village. From the vineyard to the bottle, its expertise has been passed down since 1768, spanning eight generations. The 6-hectare vineyard, planted with Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Meunier, is spread out around Épernay and throughout the Marne Valley. Old vines and reserve wines bring richness and complexity to the blends. Gentle fermentation, carefully controlled dosage, and aging in a 19th-century cellar allow each cuvée to fully reveal its character.
