Gault&Millau's review 2023

A fine Pinot from the superb Bouzy terroir with a very gourmand, voluble approach. Black stone fruits mingle with a bouquet of fresh flowers, iris in particular, and spices such as cinnamon and cardamom. A fine cuvée for discovering Pinot Noirs from the Marne, to accompany a partridge pâté.

Alain Vesselle

In the Vesselle family, I'd like Alain. Good choice! The three brothers Guillaume, Antoine and Thibaud now run the brand created by their grandfather Alain in the 1960s, but the family has been producing red bouzys since the 19th century. The vineyards are divided between the Montagne de Reims, where 9 ha are Grand Cru, and the Côte des Bar, further south. Pinot noir is the predominant grape variety on this estate, which has signed up to the Vignerons Indépendants charter and therefore vinifies only its own grapes. The range is relatively broad, with eight champagnes and the famous bouzy rouge that has made the village's reputation. The domaine is open by appointment only.
