"The House's signature cuvée, remarkable for its richness and finesse"

“A blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in this champagne from the Aube region. The nose reveals notes of mandarin, pear, and acacia. On the palate, the wine’s body is supported by just the right amount of freshness. The finish leaves you wanting more.” (La Revue du Vin de France 699 – April 2026)

Bettane & Desseauve

Rated 2 stars (A solid, recommendable wine, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous one)

About the estate:

This brand from the Côte des Bar cooperative winery (which charmingly describes itself as a “winemakers’ house”) in the Aube department has made significant progress and effectively demonstrates the undeniable potential of this “southern” terroir within the Champagne wine region. Apart from the premier cuvée, which falls short of the rest of the range, the champagnes possess a distinct personality, as evidenced, for example, by the surprising Pinot Blanc.

Guide Hachette des vins

Rated estate (2025 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer's wines regularly receive awards from the guide)

About the estate:

This cooperative in the Aube department, founded in 1956, now has 130 members who cultivate 315 hectares spread across ten villages in the Arce Valley, near Bar-sur-Seine. Pinot Noir, the premier grape variety of the Côte des Bar, makes up the majority of the local vineyards.

About the estate:

The cooperative, founded in 1956, now includes no fewer than 130 winegrowers and encompasses a total of 315 hectares of vineyards. Overlooking the Arce Valley, in the heart of the Côte des Bar, this “winegrowers’ house” is housed in a large, charming 19th-century building. In a region where Pinot Noir reigns supreme, the landscape—with its alternating vineyards and forests—promotes biodiversity and enables an environmentally responsible approach. The lineup has been expanded with two new certified organic vintages (“Les Authentiques”), and visitors can explore a new tour and tasting area in the winery’s cellars, as well as an exhibition titled “Les Effervescentes.” Of particular note is a vintage Pinot Blanc, a specialty of the winery.

About the wine:

This champagne from the Aube region is a blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The nose reveals notes of mandarin, pear, and acacia. On the palate, the full-bodied character is balanced by just the right amount of freshness. The finish leaves you wanting more.

About the wine:

An easy-to-drink, non-vintage champagne that serves as a benchmark. A blend of fresh apples and baked apples. Well-balanced dosage.

About the wine:

This creamy champagne offers aromas and flavors of slivered almonds, white flowers, and lemon pastries. It is sweet and fresh, with delicate bubbles. Enjoy it now.
