Gault&Millau's review 2024

Lemon asserts itself from the very first aromas, then white-fleshed fruits offer their tenderness (summer pear). Notes of aromatic herbs add freshness (chervil, celery). The palate is pleasant, with a lovely golden roundness that adds volume. The bubbles are very discreet, but the finish is full and warm, thanks to a few small bitters.

Jean Valentin et Fils

Traces of the family can be found in Champagne as far back as the 16th century, when the grandfather, Jehan, bore the name Roualet, which takes its etymology from "rouale", an ancient tool used to work the vines. It wasn't until 1922 that Jane Roualet founded the company. Since then, Jean, Gilles and now Brice have taken over the estate. The estate comprises 5 hectares of Premier Cru, planted with the three main Champagne grape varieties. Each is vinified separately before being blended to the house's own taste. Here, most bottles are still riddled by hand. Brice, a former chef, offers "Champagne and Cuisine" tasting menus on reservation.
