(6/2026) Yum! A 1er Cru hailing predominantly from the ripe 2020 harvest doesn't need a heavy dosage, and this is well-measured at just 4 g/l, providing a savory yet supple Champagne from the Vallee de la Marne that is aromatically intense and hard to resist. More intrigue than in many larger production wines, the US usually sees only about 400 cases of this wine per disgorgement.
What Critics Think
Vinous - Anne Krebiehl MW : 90 Points
(12/2025) The NV Brut Tradition Premier Cru is a blend of 70% Chardonnay, 25% Pinot Noir and 5% Pinot Meunier picked chiefly in Bisseuil, supplemented with fruit from Mareuil-sur-Aÿ and Mesnil-sur-Oger. Eighty percent of base wines are from the 2020 vintage. Fresh polenta and dried corn husk are smooth and supple on the nose. The palate is sprightly, alert and energetic with fine, almost urgent foam. Juicy and bright, the palate shows a slight phenolic element but also lovely freshness. A very lively, fuller, rounder apero style. Dosage is 4 grams per liter. Disgorged: January 2024. Drinking Window: 2025 - 2035.
