Gault&Millau's review 2019

The ivory-white mousse is beautiful, regular and abundant. On opening, the nose offers a skilful blend of fruitiness and creaminess. On the palate, a delicate bubble bursts under the tongue and the creamy finish is perfumed with kumquat and yellow peach. A perfect match for tandoori cuisine.

Michel Lenique

Led by Alexandre Lenique, this family-owned, independent winery is located in Pierry, a Premier Cru village. From the vineyard to the bottle, its expertise has been passed down since 1768, spanning eight generations. The 6-hectare vineyard, planted with Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Meunier, is spread out around Épernay and throughout the Marne Valley. Old vines and reserve wines bring richness and complexity to the blends. Gentle fermentation, carefully controlled dosage, and aging in a 19th-century cellar allow each cuvée to fully reveal its character.
