The latest addition to the range is the cuvée Éphémère, a Blanc de Blanc Champagne (Chardonnay and Pinot Blanc), non-dosed and aged for 30 months on lees.

The son, grandson and great-grandson of winegrowers, Cédric Moussé took over the family estate in 2014 and modernised it from top to bottom. Nothing is left to chance in the quest to produce ‘better’ and ‘more’: synthetic products have been abandoned in favour of eco-grazing, electrical self-sufficiency, the use of mineral sulphur (not derived from petrochemicals), lighter bottles and paper capsules. A fervent advocate of Pinot Meunier, he offers cuvées that are always full-bodied and deep, without any softness or rusticity. As the Revue du Vin de France sums it up, ‘He cultivates the refined, careful and energetic expression of his cuvées, with a magnificent delicacy of bubbles’.

The estate's flagship cuvée, Eugène is a blend of Pinot Meunier (80%) and Pinot Noir (20%), in a vinous but not heavy style.

Since 1993, Valérie and Benoît Lahaye have been proving that a different kind of viticulture, one that respects the living world, is possible in Champagne. In their 5-hectare vineyard in Bouzy, they opted early on for organic vine management, ploughing the soil on horseback and reducing yields to promote aromatic concentration and terroir expression.

The Pinot Noir grape, which makes up the vast majority (88%) and is harvested at optimum ripeness, gives their Champagnes exceptional fruity intensity and persistence, enhanced by very low sugar and sulfur levels. The uniqueness of Benoît Lahaye's cuvées, but above all their quality and consistency, are unanimously acclaimed by the various critics: Gault & Millau named him Vigneron of the Year 2022, En Magnum considers him “one of the most gifted winemakers of his generation”, and the Revue du Vin de France has just awarded him a third star...

In 2011, the Descours family took over this old House (1851) with the aim of restoring it to its 19th century glory. The gamble paid off, and was widely acclaimed by the critics: "Charles Heidsieck richly deserves to be considered one of today's most brilliant brands" for Mr Bettane, "Heidsieck is back in the limelight with a complete range of top-class wines" for the Revue du Vin de France.

Predominantly Chardonnay, the 'Charles' style is based on elegance and, above all, great freshness tempered by long maturation (from 5 years for the Brut Réserve to 15 years for the Blanc des Millénaires) in their famous chalk pits near Reims. Throughout the range, there's no trace of oxidation, no rancio, just an extreme smoothness. Great art!

Pierre and Sophie Larmandier are among the precursors of biodynamic wines. On their 16 ha vineyard in the south of the Côte des Blancs, they produce champagnes of exemplary naturalness and frankness. Very low (or even no) dosage because they are made from perfectly ripe grapes, their vintages express with precision the aromatic intensity and the delicacy of the greatest chardonnays of Champagne. In short, Larmandier-Bernier obtains with its chardonnays what Égly-Ouriet achieves with its pinots noirs.

The elegance and consistency of Larmandier-Bernier champagnes is praised by Bettane & Desseauve: “Few wineries in any region can boast such consistency at this high level”. Estate rated two stars in the Revue du Vin de France's annual guide.
