Gault&Millau's review 2025

If the initial nose is woody, fruit soon comes to the fore, fresh and juicy, whether white (quince, apple) or exotic (pineapple, mango), followed by warmer notes of pastry, bread crust and sweet vanilla. Very taut, the palate is quite sparkling, with a crystalline texture and lemony accents. A straightforwardness that carries through to a chalky, saline, very marine finish. Only 1500 bottles of this cuvée are produced.

Florence Duchêne

Florence Duchêne, a young winemaker of Franco-Philippine origin, cultivates 4.5 ha of vines with an average age of 40 years, divided into 56 parcels located on either side of the Marne, from Aÿ in Grand Cru to Châtillon-sur-Marne, via Hautvillers and Cumières, on slopes dominated by clay-limestone with a tendency to marl. Grape varieties include pinot noir (51%), pinot meunier (34%) and chardonnay (15%). The young woman has traveled extensively in the world of wine and considers, with Alfred Gratien, that champagne should be to wine what haute couture is to fashion. In a nod to the winemaker's origins, each cuvée is named after a Filipino god.
