Gault&Millau's review 2026

This wine seduces with its expressive nose of plum, black fruit, smoke and honey, complemented by notes of tobacco, wilted rose, licorice and cardamom. On the palate, with a soft attack, it reveals a pleasantly creamy texture and silky, present bubbles. There's a lovely juicy sensation with aromas of fresh strawberry, blackberry, raspberry, morello cherry and spices. Its fine tannins add chewiness and personality, culminating in a fleshy, cherry-like finish.

A. Lété

Jeanne and her husband, Auguste, created Champagne A.Lété in 1890. Their grandson, Philippe, and his wife Annick extended the vineyard to 9 ha, including an enclosed area, between the villages of Fleury-la-Rivière and Damery. Their children, Laetitia and Frédéric, have been running the estate since 2010. Clara and Tom, representatives of the fifth generation, have just joined them. At Damery, the meunier grape is king, and the family owns many old vines - some over 90 years old - all HVE4 certified. The grapes are pressed at the cooperative opposite, then, once the cuvée head has been recovered, the juices are blended and aged on the estate. The 50,000 bottles produced are still turned by hand.
