Finesse, preciseness and elegance are the words that come to mind.
The whole is lean, saline and refreshing, suggesting the structure of silk. The result is a feeling of purity that enhances the wine's sublime acid line and its light roasting aromas.
A magnificent example of champenois balance!
It leaves a delicate chalky and saline with aromas of caramel but also crustacean shell that are the mark of the beautiful processing of this wine. The last impression suggests grapefruit zest.

Champagne lovers and experts alike will be delighted.
Passionate artisan and proud heir to a long dynasty of Vignerons, my loyalty to the terroir is not just a tradition, but a quest for authenticity that animates my work everyday.
The unique terroir of Cuis, with its predominance of chalk, is my canvas.It allows me to sculpt wines with a soul, creations that narrate the story of their origin with every sip. The aging process on lees, ranging from 7 years for our youngest Cuvées to over 20 years for the exceptional vintages, is a testament to patience and devotion. Each added year contributes to enriching their character, like a work of art that improves over time. For me, the creation of each Cuvée is comparable to haute couture: it requires not just thousands of hours of hard work, but also impeccable precision and creativity.
It's these moments of pure creation that fuel my passion and reinforce my commitment to excellence.
