Gault&Millau's review 2027

Chouilly is a Grand Cru village producing deep Chardonnays like this one. The nose is very discreet, yet very complex. In fact, this cuvée is elegant with a touch of restrained power. Evolutionary notes are delicately enhanced by floral notes. The whole is powdery, finely structured with, as mentioned, depth of saltiness. Present without overdoing it, we also love the roasted notes, the chewiness on the spices.

Yves Jacques
Yves Jacques
In Baye, a village north of Sézanne, the Jacques family continues the work begun nearly a century ago by Gilberte and André. Over the decades, the estate has expanded and modernized, and Quentin and Bastien—the children of Rémi and Valérie—have gradually become the guardians of a tradition rooted in 18 hectares of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Meunier, planted in equal parts. For example, the “Les Enseignes” cuvée is the result of their work, always under Rémi’s watchful eye. At the same time, the family recently acquired beautiful plots in Chouilly and Aÿ to produce, on the one hand, a 100% Chardonnay and, on the other, a 100% Pinot Noir.
