Gault&Millau's review 2026

A delicate, springtime nose of pink grapefruit, wild strawberry, rose and a hint of elegant toast. On the palate, the fine bubbles support a juicy, saline body, with subtle chewiness and noble bitters. Fresh almond and a hint of menthol on the finish. This champagne offers the soothing sensation of a glass in the sun.

J. Charpentier
J. Charpentier
The J. Charpentier champagne house is now run by the fifth generation, led by Marie-Pierre and her brother, Jean-Marc, an oenologist. The Charpentiers have long been committed to a philosophy of environmental stewardship. They practice 100% grass cover on their vineyards and avoid the systematic use of insecticides. They take a case-by-case approach, working with what nature provides. The winery ferments its 15 hectares in stainless steel tanks, large casks, or barrels, partly without malolactic fermentation, using minimal sulfites and moderate dosage.
