This blend from five different parcels is a little young. At the same time, the Champagne is balanced, moving towards a fine depth and richness. It would be worth aging further to bring out the fine potential maturity. D...(read more)

Fleurie-la-Rivière fruit. Reserve wines from vintages from 2014 to 2019 inclusive. About half Pinot Meunier and the rest Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.

Wow. Every sip here is a thrill. The Latitude is a very dry blend of 100% Chardonnay from Vertus (this is in fact an extra-brut), elegant and pure flavours, making for an interesting contrast to the Egly-Ouriet style. Br...(read more)

A sweet edge to the attack here, juice like the Luraule follows, and here there's more power and mineral intensity. Sherbety, mineral, sleek and long.

Arguably the finest vintage of Mainqué to date. Broad yet focused, the 2022 offers a honeyed texture cut by a spine of acidity. A hint of gunflint on the nose gives way to flavours of white peach, camomile and sea...(read more)

A mix of both Arvelets and Hervelets planted up and down the slope by the Fixey church. Fine tannins with higher-toned acidity here but very suave and with extra length. Fine graceful finish. Tasted: August 2020
