93 / 100"Dark salmon oil hues with an orange tinge lead to a bouquet of baked peach and saffron, red aple and strawberry. The autolysis is bold and refreshing with a fine oaty cereal quality and butter brioche. Rose and strawberry flavours are encased in a coarse silk mousse and acidity layering in a crisp light saline complexity. Dry, balanced, well made and ready. A delicious wine with an earthy mineral quality and fruit flavours that reflect the bouquet. Best drinking from 2022 through 2026."

Tasting Notes
100% Premier Cru fruit. 85% Chardonnay lends an elegant floral character as well as grapefruit and melon, but the 15% Pinot Noir (blended as red wine) gives the ruby red colour and adds flavours of red berries and a savoury complexity.
The family Autreau is an old family from Champillon - ancient documents certify their presence since 1670. This family is linked to the farming of the land and to the Champagne production as far back as it goes - the beginning of the 18th century when Dom Perignon found bubbles in his wine.
