Gault&Millau's review 2025

Golden, like the ripe fruit releasing its sweet perfume, golden, like the warm cookie, golden, like the rather sunny vintage. Aromas of croissant, pipe tobacco and cinnamon emerge on aeration. This sensation of fullness and richness is reflected in a rather opulent body, underlined by stone-fruit notes (apricot, greengage, vine peach), but not lacking in freshness despite discreet oakiness. The chalky, slightly lemony finish leaves the palate clean, and makes you want more lobster salad.

Monmarthe

The Monmarthe family embarked on their champagne journey in 1930. Over the generations, the house has grown, expanded, and modernized. The 17-hectare vineyard, located primarily in Ludes, is divided into 25 plots, distributed almost equally among the three main grape varieties (Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Meunier). Jean-Guy Monmarthe, a sixth-generation winemaker, leads the house and preserves this exceptional terroir alongside Gauthier (seventh generation). Together, they craft blended champagnes and single-vineyard champagnes that showcase the terroirs of Ludes in the Montagne de Reims.
