Wine rated (2024 guide) 90/100

Rated estate (2024 guide) 2*Stars (A solid, recommendable vintage, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous one)

About the wine:

A wine of great finesse, with an elegant nose of Williams pear and white flowers; the palate is equally pleasing, with a pleasant liveliness. The finish is smooth.

About the estate:

Françoise Antech-Gazeau masterfully leads this successful wine merchant, which has specialized in sparkling wines for six generations. Nearly a million bottles leave the cellars each year. A broad and consistent range of wines, of high quality, with a clear focus on purity, minerality, and a fresh, balanced profile. The M30 cuvée, made from Mauzac, impressed us with its outstanding ability to serve as an aperitif.
