Gault&Millau's review 2020

Ex-Ante means "beforehand" in Latin. In fact, this cuvée is the prelude to a fine tasting of the winemaker's range. Made from a blend of equal parts of the three main Champagne grape varieties, it is saline and ripe on the palate, with good lemony acidity, enhanced by a dosage of 6 g/l. Ideal as an aperitif with gougères.

Alexandre Penet

Growing vines on the Montagne de Reims, the House of Penet is proudly represented today by Alexandre, a member of the fifth generation. Among the 6 ha of vines cultivated by the estate, the aperitif range, under the Alexandre Penet brand, is more immediate in approach. It stands out for its freshness and gourmandise, an initiation to the great vintages of the Penet-Chardonnet brand. The house also offers champagne-related activities, such as food and champagne pairings, or visits during the grape harvest. More original, a workshop on the theme of blending or a parcel tasting of clear wines are also organized.
