Gault&Millau's review 2022

A model of mature balance. Right from the nose, which swings between fresh fruit, dried fruit and notes of early evolution, everything is in place. On aeration, aromas of calisson, brioche bread and licorice stick emerge. On the palate, the magic of great blends is at work, offering richness, fullness, fruitiness and breed that are perfectly balanced from start to finish. The volume of the Pinot Noir is just right, and the chalky subtlety invites you to open this magnificent bottle today or wait a few more years.

Pol Roger
For nearly ten years, Damien Cambres, the cellar master of this independent, family-owned house, has been carrying on an art: that of producing champagnes of exemplary quality and unfailing consistency, described as floral, elegant, and subtle. This expertise is made possible by a rigorous selection of the winegrowers who partner with the house and the 94 hectares it owns. Among the iconic crus on which it relies are Oiry, Chouilly, Cramant, Avize, Oger, and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger for Chardonnay, as well as Ambonnay, Hautvillers, and Vertus for Pinot Noir.
