Gault&Millau's review 2025

The nose opens with a freshness carried by aromas of yellow citrus and white fruit. Aeration reveals more floral nuances of old rose combined with a pastry-like quality reminiscent of strawberry tart. The palate is straightforward and precise, underscored by citrus notes (orange zest and lime), while fine bubbles add dynamism to the material. The saline finish makes you long for another glass.

Couvent Fils

The first bottles from the great Couvent family of winemakers were not marketed until 1947 by Clarisse Couvent, under the name of Veuve Couvent. On the death of her husband, her son Raymond took over, joined by his wife, Raymonde, in 1955. Sylvie Monnin, with her husband Gérard, took over the estate in 1986 following the untimely death of her father, who gave the brand its current name. The domaine does not claim any label, but cultivates its grapes with respect for the soil and the environment, using treatments as little as possible. The plots are grassed. Recently, the range has been expanded with a 100% pinot meunier cuvée from the first press, produced with grapes from the fine 2018 harvest.
