"Chardonnay and Meunier contribute equally to this Brut, with its charming nose of cooked fruit, butter and brioche. These aromas are reflected in a balanced, fresh palate with good length." (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2020) Its liveliness and balance make this a champagne to enjoy at any time of day, with friends as an aperitif or around a table. An excellent value for money!

About the wine:

Chardonnay and meunier contribute equally to this brut, with its charming nose of cooked fruit, butter and brioche. These aromas are reflected in a balanced, fresh palate with good length.

About the domain :

Heirs to three generations of harvesters, Pascal and Sandrine Lejeune set up in 1995 as récoltants-coopérateurs and launched their brand. In 2015, their son Thibaut joined them. The family cultivates 4.5 ha of vines on the southern slopes of Épernay. High environmental value certified property.

About the domain :

When Pascal and Sandrine took over the reins of the estate in 1995, they set out to give it new impetus: the vineyard expanded to 4 hectares 40, and integrated viticulture was introduced in the vines. Their son, Thibaut, joined them on the estate in the summer of 2015, perpetuating the House's winemaking expertise and family commitment.
