The 2016 vintage was characterised by particularly marked weather variations: spring was cool, wet and relatively late whereas summer was warm and dry with a heatwave in late August followed by dry and sunny weather over the harvest period which was highly beneficial to the ripening of the grapes.

Our Pinot noirs thrived in these dry, sunny conditions and the heat has given them an intensely fruity character and silky smooth texture. The Chardonnays are just as outstanding although more chiselled and saline in character.

Opening with marvellous perfumes of white flowers, citrus zest and wheat, Blanc de Blancs 2016 then reveals a wonderfully iodised sensation, blending chalky overtones, smoky notes and hints of toasted almonds.

The creamy texture unfolds like velvet, combining freshness with ripe, juicy fruit that is totally refreshing. The soft, saline finish rounds off this luminous tasting experience.

Our champagnes undergo an extended period of ageing to allow them to gently evolve and mature, gaining in structure and depth, whilst developing highly nuanced aromas over the years.

You may enjoy them in the purity and chalky freshness of their youth or, if you appreciate more mature champagnes, wait a few more years or even decades for their candied, spicy notes to emerge. Our champagnes have a long future ahead of them and their destiny is in your hands!
