Gault&Millau's review
2025 92/100
A hint of fermentation opens the nose, but white fruits quickly take over, accompanied by aromas of verbena, sage, jasmine and sweet orange zest. On the palate, where delicate, creamy bubbles contribute to a smooth texture, we find ripe fruity notes, a hint of rosemary honey and a pinch of bergamot zest for freshness. The wine holds up well, with controlled power and a delicately chalky finish.

Winegrowers for three generations in Trois-Puits, near Reims, in the heart of the mountain, Maison Trichet produces only premier cru and grand cru champagnes. Pierre Trichet took up the family torch, started in the 1950s by his grandmother Antoinette, at the end of the 1980s, accompanied by his wife Mireille. Together, they produce a wide range of fruity, well-balanced champagnes, including a rosé de saignée that delighted us with its burst of fruit. You can also discover and taste coteaux-champenois in both colors and a ratafia. On the wine tourism front, the domaine offers 5 lovely guest rooms for visiting the vineyards, just a few kilometers from Reims.
