Dizy Terres Rouges, an undosed white champagne, comes from a 1.33-hectare parcel at the foot of a red-brown hillside. A splendid champagne, as radiant and generous as the summer of 2015.
Since January 2023, Maison Jacquesson has been owned by Mr. Pinault (Latour in Bordeaux, Clos de Tart in Burgundy, Château-Grillet in Rhône...).
Company rated three stars in the Revue du Vin de France's annual guide.
Cuvée "Dizy-Terres Rouges Premier Cru 2015" in the press:
Vinous (A. Galloni - March 2024): 94/100 “The 2015 Extra Brut Dizy-Terres Rouges Premier Cru is Bright, airy and nicely lifted. It's an especially floral, mid-weight expressio of Pinot Noir. Crushed flowers, dried herbs, spice, cedar and tobacco give the 2015 a strong aromatic presence. Although a bit light, the 2015 is very nicely delineated and also avoids the assertive vegetal notes that afflict so manny wines in this vintage. Bottled with no dosage."
A precise and meticulous worker, Francis Égly is at the top of the Champagne world. With his vineyards magnificently situated in grand cru (pinot noir and chardonnay in Ambonnay, Bouzy and Verzenay) and premier cru (in Vrigny and Bisseuil), he makes wines of prodigious vinosity, intensity and nobility of character, always on the razor's edge between the great ripeness of the grapes and a fine chalky minerality. All his vintages are vinified in wood, without malolactic fermentation. The critics are enthusiastic, such as M. Bettane, who says that "Égly-Ouriet sets the tone for all Champagne viticulture with vintages of staggering depth". Starting with the admirable flagship Brut Grand Cru, barely dosed (1g/l), slender and rich, with hints of iodine accompanying a fine bitterness.
Égly-Ouriet has been rewarded with its fourth star in the Revue du Vin de France's 2025 guide.

The Cuvée "Les Crayères Blanc de Noirs" in the press:
La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2026) : 99/100 Coup de ♥ "What can be said about the Crayères, other than that it displays a rare complexity: oriental spices, citrus peel, saffron, dried hay...

Since Charles Philipponnat was appointed Director in 2000, this family-run business has gone from strength to strength and is now one of the leading names in Champagne. Awarded three stars in the Revue du Vin de France Guide.

Vinous (A.Galloni - April 2025): 94/100 "The 2019 Extra Brut Blanc de Noirs is another gorgeous wine this range from Philipponnat. Power and energy meld together in a wine of striking presence. Most of the malolactic fermentation (70%) was blocked, wich contributed palpable tension throughout. Kirsh, white flowers, mint, white pepper and chalk build into the vibrant, saline-drenched finish. This is a stellar showing. Dosage is 4.5 grams per liter."

Vinous (A. Galloni - March 2024): 91/100 “The 2018 Extra-Brut Blanc de Noirs is an understated wine, as so many Champagnes are in 2018. This is an especially brisk, floral style of Blanc de Noirs, the result of a choice of villages (Avenay-Val-d'Or, Mareuil, Mailly, Vertus? Ecueil), The decision to partially block the malolactic fermentation and dosage that is on the low side. Grapefruit, white flowers, mint, chalk and dried herbs are all finelly cut."

There's lovely aromatic presence and enough mid-palate pliancy to make for highly enjoyable drinking for at least the nest handful of years.

Cuvée "Clos des Goisses 2014" in the reviews :
La Revue du Vin de France (Décember 2024) : 95/100 « The blend of Pinot Noir (71%) and Chardonnay from this legendary clos offers a concentration of flavours and exceptional vinosity in 2014, all enhanced by a fine patina of wood. »
Vinous (A. Galloni - March 2024): 93/100 “The 2014 Extra-Brut Clos des Goisses is aromatic, soft-spoken and quiet in demeanor. this is an especially floral, delicate Goisses with lovely floral top notes and decidedly mid-weight structure. The 2014 remains noticeably fresh and vibrant, but I just it a bit light on the mid-palate. Dosage is 4.25 grams per liter."
Cuvée "246" in the press:
Vinous (A. Galloni - April 2025): 93/100 “The NV Brut Collection 246 is positively stellar. It’s a terrific example of where Roederer is going with this cuvée stylistically. Brisk saline notes cut through a core of orchard fruit, mint, white pepper and slate. There are no hard angles or awkward contours. The 246 is based on 2021, an extremely tricky vintage for Champagne. Chef de Caves Jean-Baptiste Lécaillon bumped up the percentage of Chardonnay considerably and focused on Pinots from the Montagne de Reims. About 30% of the lots underwent malolactic fermentation to soften the edges. Twenty-four percent of the wines were fermented in oak, the rest in tank. The 246 is a blend of 55% base 2021 vintage wines described above, plus 30% perpetual reserve going back to 2012 (mostly from Cumières, Vertus and Verzy) in tank and 10% young-vine juice from Cristal plots aged in cask. The final blend is 54% Chardonnay (as opposed to the more typical 44%), 35% Pinot Noir and 11% Meunier. Dosage is 7 grams per liter. More importantly, the 246 is impeccably done and absolutely delicious."
Maison Roederer has been regaining its lustre since 2010, under the guidance of its excellent cellar master Mr. Lecaillon, a firm believer in permaculture and agroforestry who in 2018 put half (120 ha) of the vineyard into organic conversion. The House's style is now oriented towards straightforwardness and salinity, refined and uncluttered wines.
The range begins with the cuvée Collection, as much an aperitif champagne as a meal wine, thanks to the addition of reserve wines. Then come three vintages (Brut, Rosé and Blanc de Blancs) to conclude with Cristal, their world-famous flagship cuvée.
Collection is a multi-vintage blend, dominated by chardonnay (40%) and pinots noir and meunier. Collection n°243 is built around the 2018 harvest (59%), blended with 41% reserve wines from vintages 2009 to 2017.

Galloni - November 2022): 93/100 "The NV Collection 243 is bright, punchy and wonderfully effusive, the 243 really shows the more vibrant style Roederer is going for with their new entry-level NV bottling. Citrus peel white, flowers, mint, slate and a host of saline notes build nicely. This is impressive, to say the least."

A glass of the NVV Collection 244 sets the mood.Collection is a new Champagne from Roederer, essentially the former Brut Premier reinterpreted with a focus on freshness and verve. Those qualities come alive in the glass. Brisk acids cut through a core of orchard fruit, chamomile and crushed rocks. What a beautiful and expressive wine this is.”
La Revue du Vin de France (December 2023): 91-92/100 “Fine, precise, defined nose on delicate brioche. Ample, tasty and dynamic on the palate. Great elegance of bubbles and velvety mousse. The contribution of the 36% perpetual reserve and the 10% reserve wines aged in wood adds depth and patina. A long, saline finish for this energetic, smooth and very sapid wine.

Vinous (A. Galloni - March 2024): 93/100 "The 2016 Vintage is terrific. Rich, creamy and super-expressive, the 2016 is an absolute delight. All this fruit is from Roederer's La Montagne estate, with Pinot Noir very much driving the blend. That comes through in a Champagne of notable textural resonance and breadth that grows with air. Hints of apricot, plum, spice and dried flowers caress the palate, all framed by a discreet touch of oak and extra kick of texture from a few lots (5%) that underwent malolactic fermentation. This is a superb edition of the vintage. The blend is 68% Pinot Noir and 32% Chardonnay. Here, the richness of the warm summer very much comes through."

The Rosé Millésimé is obtained by a slow, gentle maceration of Pinot Noir in part of the Chardonnay juice. This “infusion” process gives it a round, fresh character, with aromas of tart red fruits (redcurrant) perfectly integrated.
The 2017 vintage rosé in the press:
Vinous (A. Galloni - March 2024): 92/100 "The 2017 Rosé is bright and finely sculpted. Crushed red berries, grapefruit, chalk, mint and white pepper lend palpable energy throughout. This is an especially nervy edition of the Rosé. It will appeal most to readers who enjoy taut, vibrant Champagnes. The blend is 62% Pinot Noir (all from Cumières) and 38% Chardonnay (from Chouilly), with the energy of Cumières very much driving the blend. The Pinot came in the early side, which was necessary to avoid rot. It is a fine effort in a vintage in which Roederer made just two vintage Champagnes, the Rosé and Blanc de Blancs."

The cuvée ‘Brut nature’ vintage 2012 in the press:
Vinous (A. Galloni - December 2019): 94/100 "The 2012 Brut Nature is rich, powerful and incredibly expressive. It is also the most complete Brut Nature Roederer has made, as it has less of the austerity of previous releases and more creaminess. Powerful and yet gracious, the 2012 has so much to offer. Dried flowers, chamomile, dried pear and mint are all laced throughout this sublime, wonderfully nuanced Champagne. The Brut Nature is a field bend of 50% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay and 20 % Meuniertaken from three parcels in Cumières and vinified together."
Maison Roederer has been regaining its lustre since 2010, under the guidance of its excellent cellar master Mr. Lecaillon, a firm believer in permaculture and agroforestry who in 2018 put half (120 ha) of the vineyard into organic conversion. The House's style is now oriented towards straightforwardness and salinity, refined and uncluttered wines.
The range begins with the cuvée Collection, as much an aperitif champagne as a meal wine, thanks to the addition of reserve wines. Then come three vintages (Brut, Rosé and Blanc de Blancs) to conclude with Cristal, their world-famous flagship cuvée.
Cristal, the highlight of the range, is a model of purity and balance. A true “champagne de garde”, it can be cellared for over 15 years without losing any of its freshness or power.
The 2016 vintage of "Cristal" in the press:
La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2026) : 97/100 Coup de ♥ "Cristal 2016 has a bright future ahead of it: a magnificent, well-rounded wine, both mature and fresh, in true Champagne style."
Vinous (A. Galloni - March 2024): 96/100 "The 2016 Cristal is bright, aromatic and nicely lifted. Citrus peel white flowers, mint and a touch of chamomile all grace this understaded, wonderfully refined edition of Cristal. Light on its feet and super-refined, the 2016 is exquisite in its understated beauty. I can't wait to see how the 2016 ages and won't be surprised it gains a bit of weight in bottle, as Cristal so often does. The blend is 58% Pinot Noir and 42% Chardonnay, so a touch more Chardonnay than the norm. Of the 45 parcels that make up the Cristal domaine, just 32 were used for the blend. Verzy and Vernezay dominate the Pinots, then Aÿ. Avize takes the lead in the Chardonnays, followed by Mesnil and Cramant."
On a gravelly soil renowned for its whites, Camus vinifies a small production with a Semillon majority (60%, with 40% Sauvignon), grown in vats. A beautiful white Graves, of good volume, expressive, really very pleasant.
Small estate of 6.5 hectares of Côtes de Francs, where Mr. Thienpont, also owner of Puyguéraud and La Prade, produces an excellent white wine vinified in barrels of 500 liters, long, fat and smooth, with a judicious point of acidity.
The 2021 vintage in the press:
La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2025) : 91/100 “Lots of freshness in the 2021 white, a trio of Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc and Sauvignon Gris: bright, citrus tones, slender and tonic without nervousness.”
Vinous (A. Galloni - December 2023) : 92/100 “Charmes Godard 2022 is predominantly Semillon in this vintage, with smaller pieces of Sauvignon Blanc and Sauvignon Gris. In 2021, Les Charmes Godard is brighter and more concentrated than in the past. Time in bottle will help release some of its underlying texture.”

Although produced in Lamarque in the heart of Haut-Médoc, this is the most original dry white wine in the Gironde, a blend of gros manseng (as in Jurançon), sauvignon gris (superior to the more common sauvignon blanc), savagnin (as in Jura) and mondeuse blanche (as in Savoie). All this gives a dry white wine with golden reflections, powerful, sapy, fruity, complex and elegant. A special wine!
Continuing a tradition dating back to the early 20th century, Fonréaud (Listrac) produces a confidential white wine on 3 hectares, very dry and tense, just like the Pavillon blanc de Margaux and, like it, an archetype of dry Médoc whites. And with great regularity, as Bettane & Desseauve (Guide 2025) rightly points out, “Cygne de Fonréaud is a great success, always impeccably precise and fresh in every vintage”.
The 2023 vintage in the press:
Vinous (N. Martin - February 2026): 90/100 "The 2023 Le Cygne has improved on the nose since I tasted it from barrel, with much more precise, quite minerally malic fruit. The palate is well balanced with fine acidity, taut and fresh, with a very appealing nectarine and yellow plum finish. I underestimated this from barrel, and it deserves a higher score."
