Gault&Millau's review 2025

Produced from the 2007 harvest and not disgorged until 2022, this cuvée bears witness to the long years spent on laths. The bouquet hesitates between the ripeness of yellow fruit and the sweetness of dried fruit and pear jam. Accompanied by creamy bubbles, the texture retains the sensation of dried fruit, without becoming oxidized, thanks to a structure that retains its freshness and carries it through to a delicately iodized finish. A gourmet champagne to accompany mature cheeses, dried fruit desserts or as a meditation wine. In any case, it's ready to drink.

Benoit Michel

Benoit Michel is a harvesting and handling winemaker based in Monthelon, representing the fifth generation of a family that has been working in the vineyards since 1847. Working alongside his father, Guy Michel, he honed his winemaking skills, emphasizing the house style and vintage focus. In 2004, Benoit became responsible for the vinification of Guy Michel champagne, and is recognized as one of the few winemakers to produce old vintages. He then decided to create his own brand, where he introduced techniques such as barrel vinification, as well as parcel-based cuvées. With the HVE and VDC labels, he cultivates the Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier grape varieties in an environmentally-friendly way, using grass cover and limiting inputs.
