"A Champagne of character
"The old vines are over 80 years old. Early but cool, 2011 favored Chardonnay. After aging on the lees for over 9 years, this wine shows great tension and aromas of acacia, golden apple, toasted almond and dried fig. "(Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2022)

Expert opinion
Guide Hachette des vins
Wine rated (guide 2022) 1*Star (Very successful wine)
Domaine noté (guide 2022) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the wine:
the old vines are over 80 years old. Early but cool, 2011 favored Chardonnay. Aged on lees for over 9 years, this wine shows great tension and aromas of acacia, golden apple, toasted almond and dried fig.
About the domain :
Patrick Le Brun, who had been managing the family vineyard (nearly 7 ha, mostly in the heart of the Côte des Blancs) since 1996, handed it over to his son Gauthier in 2017, who represents the 5th generation on the estate. The estate's cuvées do not undergo malolactic fermentation and are low dosage.
