Gault&Millau's review 2019

This cuvée blanc de blancs comes from the 2011 harvest. It spent several years in old oak barrels, then 5 years in bottle. The result is a clear, limpid color enhanced by fine bubbles. On the nose, aromas of white bread, pastry, white fruit and citrus are beautifully complex and particularly airy. On the palate, this Chardonnay is full-bodied and round. The finish is light, fresh and sapid. A successful cuvée in a structured Chardonnay style.

Gallimard Père et Fils

It was in the Riceys area that the Gallimard champagne house decided to set up in the 1930s, in order to produce fine, fruity champagnes. Famous for its personality, this terroir offers excellent Pinot Noir qualities. Didier Gallimard and his son Arnaud now manage 12 hectares of vines planted on the village slopes. At the winery, tests of aging in amphorae have resulted in a dedicated cuvée: Amphoressence.
