Gault&Millau's review
2022
90/100
This 100% Avize from the Côte des Blancs produces a racy Champagne with an intense olfactory bouquet of stewed white fruit, meadow flowers, candied citrus and buttered brioche. The balanced, fluid palate reveals a chewy, fresh citrus fruit, forcing a dosage of 4 g/l that expresses consistent acidity. Enjoy with scallops lacquered with meat jus and white truffle risotto.

Valentin Leflaive
The house has its roots in the history of the Leflaive family, guided for centuries by a love of Burgundian chardonnay and savoir-faire. But it was only recently, in 2020, that Valentin Leflaive settled in Champagne, in the prestigious Côte des Blancs appellations, and more precisely in Oger, in an authentic winery with a traditional ageing cellar dug into the chalk. The historic single-vineyard, plot-based approach typical of Burgundy is applied here, offering new interpretations. Some of the wines are matured in old Burgundy rooms that have seen Olivier Leflaive's Puligny-Montrachet grands crus age, helping to reveal the full complexity of the cuvées. On the labels, each cuvée has its own characters: while the letters express the terroir and the selection of grape variety and parcel, the numbers illustrate the base years and dosage. A modern, transparent approach.
