James Suckling
"A harmonious wine, perfectly balanced, to be enjoyed right now!"
“This Brut is once again a true classic! A brioche-like nose—open yet refined. On the palate, it’s fresh, with a noticeable but well-integrated dosage and toasty notes that reflect extended aging on the lees. It has a lovely character of fresh red fruits, and its structure reflects its 50% Pinot Noir content. The finish is lively and creamy. A true return to the forefront for this historic house. It has everything you’d expect from a non-vintage Brut served as an aperitif: balanced, crisp, rich, and vibrant, all at a reasonable price.” (La Revue du Vin de France 2024)

Rated estate (2025 guide): 4*Stars (Producers of the very highest quality, the pride of French viticulture)
About the estate:
The patient work carried out by the house’s teams since Christopher Descours took over the brand in 2011 has brilliantly paid off. Its young cellar master, Émilien Boutillat, skillfully ensures stylistic continuity and spares no effort in bringing even greater consistency to a lineup that clearly displays its gastronomic ambitions. While the non-vintage Brut still needs to gain some depth, the rest of the lineup has now reached a remarkable level of precision, particularly in the Essentiel collection, which comes highly recommended.

Rated Estate (2025 Guide) 1*Star (Rising stars or high-quality winemakers producing wines of a good standard—you won’t be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the wine:
This Brut is once again a true classic! The nose is brioche-like, open yet refined. On the palate, it’s fresh, with a noticeable but well-integrated dosage and toasty notes that reflect extended aging on the lees. It displays a lovely character of fresh red fruit, and its structure reflects its 50% Pinot Noir content. The finish is lively and creamy. A true return to the forefront for this historic house. It has everything you’d expect from a non-vintage Brut aperitif: balanced, crisp, rich, and energetic—all at a reasonable price.
About the estate:
The Descours family, which has owned the estate since 2011, is constantly working to restore it to its former glory. Cellar master Émilien Boutillat strives to maintain a fresh style while developing the depth and length of the wines. While the non-vintage brut remains very accessible and has a generous dosage, the other champagnes presented this year are well-balanced and elegant.

Wine rated (2024 guide) 90/100
About the wine:
A fruity and lively brut champagne. On the nose, aromas of apples and pear tart carry through to a medium-bodied palate with medium-sized bubbles. Smooth, fruity, and refreshing. Ready to drink now.
