Gault&Millau's review 2027

The nose is incredibly appealing, with notes of ripe banana, mango-passion fruit sorbet, and elderflower; the indulgent aromas envelop us. On the palate, the attack is smooth; it’s approachable and alluring, with an almost nostalgic aroma reminiscent of Royal Gala apple compote. It pairs wonderfully with red blood sausage and baked apples.

Veuve Maurice Lepitre

Between Reims and Épernay, in the heart of the Montagne de Reims, lies the village of Rilly-la-Montagne. It was here that Maurice Lepitre founded his estate in 1905. After his untimely death, his widow took over the estate, which has since been passed down from generation to generation, from woman to woman. Despite the passing decades, the estate has remained on a human scale, with 7 hectares of premier cru vines, consisting mainly of Chardonnay—the majority—as well as Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier, allowing the estate to offer a limited range of cuvées, some of which are still riddled and bottled by hand.
