Gault&Millau's review 2027

All the details are on the back label: 67% Chardonnay, 33% Pinot Blanc, 87% from 2019 and 13% from 2018, and a touch of dosage at 2.2 grams. The nose is expressive: blood orange and clementine with a hint of smoke and sweet spices like curry, followed by dried fruit. The palate is structured and full-bodied, with depth, while maintaining an ethereal, lace-like texture that lingers into noble bitterness.

Thomas Barbichon

Formerly known as Champagne Robert Barbichon, the Thomas Barbichon estate is now run by Thomas, the son of Robert and Maryvonne, on a 6-hectare vineyard that has been cultivated organically since 2010 and biodynamically since 2012. Twelve plots make up the vineyard, which is primarily planted with Pinot Noir in the Côte des Bar region. Thomas intervenes very little; he simply guides the grapes, the juices, the wines, and finally the champagnes until the moment of tasting, following a minimum of three years of aging in the cellar.
