Gault&Millau's review 2025

Attractive, ripe initial aromas of tree-ripened yellow fruit (peach, mirabelle plum), almost toasty notes of bread crust, warm brioche, and the slight bitterness of fresh walnut. A complexity coupled with a certain austerity, however. The palate retains freshness, but also tension. Vegetal notes open the palate, while lime acidity titillates the taste buds and keeps the palate alert through to a persistent finish. A duality of evolved nose and youthful mouthfeel.

Olivier Marteaux

Born into a family of winemakers and nursery growers, Olivier Marteaux became, in 1998—after completing his studies at the Avize viticulture high school—a grape-grower and winemaker at the estate founded by his grandfather. He launched his eponymous brand in 2009. The estate spans 12 hectares across some 40 plots in the Marne Valley, between Azy-sur-Marne and Charly-sur-Marne, planted with 15% Chardonnay, 14% Pinot Noir, and 70% Meunier. Drawing on these terroirs and grape varieties, Olivier crafts a range of six cuvées that reflect his personality and showcase the fruits of his labor.
