94/100 James Suckling
Tasting in 2023: ‘A ripe, structured Champagne that seems less dry than it actually is thanks to the rich fruit of the 2018 vintage. Aromas of violets and lilac. I like the creamy texture on the mid-palate and the chalky character of the generous, well-balanced finish. A cuvée of 75.9% pinot noir and 24.1% chardonnay from the Les Godats pres Romont, Les Villiers and Sous la Ville sites. 8.8% was vinified in oak barrels and disgorged on 13 December 2022. Dosage of only 2.6 g/l. Drink now.
- Grape varieties: 75% Pinot Noir, 25% Chardonnay.
- Dosage: 2 to 3g of sugar per litre.
- Maturation: Hand-picked, using only the first press. Alcoholic fermentation takes place at 15°C, followed by malolactic fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats and barrels. Ageing on laths in traditional chalk cellars.
- Blending: The parcels of land carefully selected for their natural balance between acidity and sugar enable us to harvest exceptional grapes in the best years to create this wine of excellence.
