Gault&Millau's review 2020

A dense, creamy mousse conceals a golden color with silver and green highlights, evoking freshness and liveliness. The fine nose reveals aromas of brioche, breadcrumbs, dried fruit (hazelnuts, almonds), reinette, kiwi and white pepper. The attack is supple, with flavors of honey, flowers and citrus. Fine bubbles hold the wine through to the more mineral finish. This easy-drinking, gourmet champagne is not devoid of elegance, with a fine balance of fruit and freshness. Enjoy as an aperitif or with a starter such as a truffled white pudding salad.

Christian Bourmault

Ernest Bourmault, originally from Sarthe, settled in Champagne in 1865. Since then, every generation has worked the vines. Christian Bourmault farms 6.5 ha, including 4 ha of Chardonnay in Avize and Cuis, and 2.5 ha of Pinot Noir in the Marne valley. The vines are all grown according to the principles of organic agriculture, but are not certified. All wines are vinified in oak barrels, and most are barrel-aged for seven or eight months before bottling. The family owns one of the rare Clos de la Champagne, Clos Bourmault, a pure Chardonnay that has been cellared for a long time and corked the old-fashioned way, using hemp twine.
