Gault&Millau's review 2027

Warning: this is intense! It almost smells like a Jura Savagnin aged under a veil, with notes of brown butter, honey, wax, and hints of damp forest floor reminiscent of porcini mushrooms freshly pulled from the ground. On the palate, it’s incredibly powerful. Between the bold attack and the pronounced tension, it’s a real head-turner. Notes of curry, spices, and nuts are present. The texture is full-bodied, shaped by its aging. The bubbles are still well-defined, though subtle, as are the mouthfeel and the finish. Very interesting for fans of oxidative wines. A creamy chicken dish with porcini mushrooms is a no-brainer.

Person

Person may indeed be the name of a family that has cultivated vineyards for seven generations, but it is above all the story of one man, Dominique, to whom we owe the fact that the wine is now vinified and bottled under his own name. From being winegrowers who supplied others, the Persons became producers in their own right, and it wasn’t until 2019 that the estate settled in Épernay. A quarter of a century later, Dominique is delighted to welcome his two sons, Nestor and Léo, who are committed to continuing his geobiology-based approach to viticulture. The vineyards are primarily located in the Vertus terroir for Chardonnay and in Aÿ for Pinot Noir.
