Gault&Millau's review 2020

Intense mousse, formed by fine, lively bubbles, tops a deep gold color with youthful green highlights. The nose is complex, with aromas of brioche, lemon cake, yellow peach, graphite and medlar. Freshness and finesse on the palate betray a good presence of chardonnay. The attack is nevertheless vinous, then refines towards a powdery, mineral finish. A champagne for any meal, ideal with cold fish in virgin sauce.

Roger Barnier
Roger Barnier
From a family of winegrowers handed down from father to son for five generations, Roger Barnier was the first to start making his own cuvées, becoming a récoltant-manipulant. Today, his grandson, Frédéric Berthelot, has taken over the family business and perpetuates the house style. Owner of 8 ha of vines spread over more than 35 parcels, the estate is certified in sustainable viticulture.
