Gault&Millau's review 2021

A sunny, barrel-aged cuvée, racy with mentholated milky fruit and honeyed candied citrus. Despite a slight reduction, the nose is greedy. On the palate, the wine is taut and fleshy, with fresh citrus fruit, and a half-tone finish of salivating chalkiness. Open as an aperitif or with snacked pollack.

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.
