Coeur de Meunier extra brut (pinot meunier) 16/20
An extra brut of pure Meunier from the 2016 harvest, which has a beautiful finely salmon colour and an abundant foam. On the nose, the fruit is clean and open on a basket of juicy white fruits. The palate has a nice fullness and a tasty fruitiness enhanced by a low dosage that lets the wine express itself. This lovely champagne can be opened with a few thin slices of raw porcini mushrooms.
Harmony extra brut (vintage) 16/20
Six years in the cellar and two years after disgorging for this champagne with a golden colour and a superb, full nose. The aromas seem to be in suspension, all in finesse with a beautiful evolution towards bakery notes. On the palate, the wine reveals itself to be open, vibrant and beautifully fresh. It will be opened for itself and for a slightly spicy cuisine such as plancha prawns and saffron cream. A delight.
Les Cuteries extra brut (blanc de blancs) 16,5/20
An extra raw white wine matured in barrels which opens perfectly on complex notes of lemon cake, brioche and heather honey when aired. The whole is both elegant and racy. On the palate, the juicy side of the Chardonnay is perfectly maintained with a wood that does not mark too much and releases the fullness. We love this style of wine that will be served at the table classically, with sweetbreads or a nice chicken in hay.
Saignée extra brut 16/20
Beautiful deep colour with orange tinges for this bleeding from the 2014 vintage with a large dominance of pinot noir. The nose is both flowery and spicy at the opening, then the red fruits come through with elegance. On the palate, the champagne becomes wine and offers a real alternative to the pinot grapes of northern Burgundy. It is best opened with red meat or matured langres.
Ratafia (ratafia champenois) 15/20
Beautiful bright apricot colour for this ratafia matured in oak barrels, with a compact nose, tightened around the aromas resulting from the maturing process. On the palate, the wine shows a patina, round, perfectly polished, and offers a ratafia completely free of its alcohol vapours, which makes it surprisingly drinkable. It can be opened on a duo of melons or on a blue-veined pastry.
