    A Champagne of precision showing a marriage of freshness and maturity

The palate is still fresh and well-balanced with flavours of crisp green apples, peaches, hazelnuts and toast. With an in-tune finish that is clean, pure and long.

    • From an acclaimed vintage

    STORY BEHIND THIS WINE

    Ideally located near the town of Epernay, this is an estate right in the heart of all things Champagne. With 9.5h of vineyards classified as either Grand Cru or Premier Cru, these are noteworthy producers and we are proud to stock a range of their bottlings in the shop. Winemakers Michelle and Laurent Bénard-Louis continue to make a name for this House with a hands-on approach philosophy and meticulous attention to detail.
    Each plot is vinified separately using small vats as well as light oak-ageing in small barrels. These are terroir-focused producers and when your terroir is Champagne then who are we to argue.
