Gault&Millau's review 2027

Aged in amphorae, this wine captivates with its aroma of cake batter, vanilla cream, peach skin, and orange zest. On the palate, it is lively and bright, displaying precise structure, a full-bodied yet taut texture, followed by ripe, juicy fruit notes ranging from rose to citrus and blackberry. The long, briny, and lemony finish is mouthwatering.

Philippe Clerget

Coming from a family of winemakers, Philippe Clerget decided in 2008 to produce his own wines and created his own champagne brand bearing his name. Together with his wife, Nathalie, they cultivate 4.40 hectares of vineyards spread across eight plots around the town of Riceys, a village in the Aube department at the heart of the Côte des Bar region, renowned for its Pinot Noirs. 4.15 hectares of this grape variety are planted, supplemented by Chardonnay. Comprising four cuvées, the lineup is small but of high quality.
