3*Coup de Coeur
Hachette
"An irresistibly seductive creation, with a beautiful complexity, where the Solera of the wines since 1990 is well integrated."
"This brut elicits this praise from one taster: "Beautiful complexity and well-integrated reserve wines." Made mainly from chardonnay (75%, supplemented by pinot noir for the most part), it includes wines from a solera started in 1990, a perpetual reserve partly renewed each year by a contribution of young wines that refresh the older wines, the characteristics of maturity being preserved. The result is an intense, fresh and complex nose, combining white flowers and lemon with yellow fruit and toasted brioche, well extended by a lively attack on the palate, fleshy and persistent, where the complexity of the nose is repeated: a rare harmony". (Le Guide Hachette 2025).

About the domain :
The Massin family has run the estate for five generations. Dominique and Rachel launched their champagne in 1975. In 2009, Tristan Massin, a qualified oenologist, set up alongside his mother, joined in 2013 by his sister Céline. Established in the Côte des Bar region, the HVE-certified structure boasts a 12-hectare vineyard composed mainly of Pinot Noir. Cuvées are aged for at least 3 years in the cellar.
