Gault&Millau's review 2026

Evolutionary notes arrive on the first nose, with undergrowth, truffles, curry and ripe yellow fruit. Then elegant floral and candied citrus take center stage. The palate is spicy, fresh, salivating and full-bodied, with a hint of tenderness. What complexity, with a remarkable price-pleasure ratio. A must-have for the cellar.

Max Cochut

The Cochut family has been winegrowers since the 19th century. At the end of the First World War, Louis Cochut expanded his winegrowing activities and began marketing his own wine. In 1956, he acquired Château de Tauxières-Mutry with his son Max. Max created a brand under his own name in 1972, and in 1990 broke away from the cooperative and set up his own winery at the château. Max's children and grandchildren now manage the estate's 23 hectares, 80% of which are planted with Pinot Noir on Premier and Grand Cru terroirs in the Montagne de Reims. The estate's cuvées benefit from long aging on lees, averaging nearly 8 years.
