Lots of elegance in the delicate, Pinot-Meunier influenced fruitiness of the basic cuv茅e. We recommend this over and above many of the better known Grande-Marques.L&S
Based on the 2020 vintage, this blend of 43% Pinot Meunier, 29% Chardonnay and 28% Pinot Noir, with 71% vins de r茅serve and 10% perpetual reserve, the NV Brut R茅serve offers up aromas of spring flowers, herbs, blossoms, lime and brioche. Medium to full-bodied, tense and precise, with a crystalline texture enhanced by bright acids, this is a long, delicate and ethereal Champagne. It matured 8% in barrels and 36 months on the lees in bottle, followed by six months after disgorgement with three grams per liter dosage. Drinking range: 2024 - 2032 Rating: 91 Yohan Castaing, www.robertparker.com (Oct 2024)
The NV Brut Reserve is a tasty, non-vintage Champagne. Orchard fruit, lime, white flowers and white pepper. Silky, creamy and exceptionally polished, the Brut Reserve is a total charmer. All the elements are so well balanced. This release is based on 2019. Dosage is 6.10 grams per liter. Disgorged: 4th quarter 2022. Drinking range: 2023 - 2029 Rating: 91 Antonio Galloni, www.vinous.com (May 2023)

Today the estate is run by Fran莽ois and Antoine Roland-Billecart, the 6th generation of the family to lead the independent House, still with the support of their father Jean Roland-Billecart.
