Guide Hachette des vins

Wine rated (2019 guide) 3*Favorite (Exceptional wine)

Domaine noté (guide 2025) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)

About the wine:

A superb expression of the king of the Marne Valley grape varieties: golden yellow color with fine bubbles, expressive, elegant nose of yellow fruit with hints of toast and vanilla, fresh on the palate, structured, dense and persistent, with yellow fruit enhanced by spices.

About the domain :

In 2000, Ludovic and Sandie Durdon took over the family estate in the Marne valley from three generations. Managing 7.5 hectares, they have undertaken the organic conversion of 3 ha of vines; certification was obtained in 2013 for the Chardonnay and in 2015 for the Pinots, with biodynamic certification in 2023. Since 2021, a press and a new vathouse have enabled the estate to carry out all the vinification previously entrusted to the local cooperative.

Guide des Vins Gault & Millau

Rated 16.5/20 (Very good)

Area rated (2024 guide) Recommended (Recommended)

About the wine:

The color is limpid, light straw with pale gold highlights. The nose expresses sourdough bread, brioche, fruit (orange, apple, lime, apricot) and subtle spices. Crystal-clear bubbles. Mineral and sapid, the palate is tangy, greedy and fruity. The finish is long and complex. An elegant wine for aperitif or table.

About the domain :

The family estate has just welcomed its fifth generation of winemakers in the presence of Antoine, the owners' son. With vineyards located in Vincelles and Barzy, in the heart of the Marne Valley, the estate covers just over 6 hectares. The Chardonnay is grown using certified organic methods, and the two Pinots are in the process of obtaining certification. The wines are aged partly in barrels and partly in vats, then left to mature in the cellar for many years. This estate offers excellent quality across the range, and also welcomes you to its gîte to discover its wines and vineyard. A new parcel-based cuvée, "Les Sablons", is now available.
