Gault&Millau's review 2026

Complex nose with notes of plum, cocoa, honey, white flowers and hazelnut. The smooth, creamy palate reveals aromas of prune, blackberry and caramel, with a pastry-like quality reminiscent of stewed yellow fruit. This gourmet wine lingers pleasantly on the finish with warm pebble bitters. Ideal for neophytes.

CH. de l'Auche

CH. de l’Auche is the name of the second brand—the first being Prestige des Sacres—of the Germiny, Janvry, Rosnay (GJR) wine cooperative, founded in 1961. Sixty cooperative winegrowers supply their grapes, which are predominantly Meunier. The 40 crus are spread across approximately 100 hectares planted on terroirs composed of clay, marl, sand, and limestone. This diversity of soils allows the cellar master to create blends with minerality and depth. The winery is also committed to sustainable viticulture (VDC and HVE) and corporate social responsibility (CSR).
