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.

With single vineyard selections, an increased percentage of Pinot Noir and partial barrel ageing, the entire range is remarkable, from the magnificent “petite” cuvée Réserve Perpétuelle or the Grande cuvée 1522 (from historic grand cru plots in Aÿ) to the famous Clos des Goisses, a 5.5-hectare single vineyard and the house's flagship wine. All cuvées are either non-dosage (0 g/l) or extra-brut (4 g/l).

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.

The Brut Millésimé is built around Pinot Noirs (70%) from the original Roederer vineyard, “La Montagne”. Aged an average of 4 years on lees, it combines a fleshy, vinous texture with subtle fruity and smoky aromas.

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.

Saline and slender, Blanc de Blancs Millésimé is made from a few parcels of Chardonnay concentrated in the limestone vineyards of “La Côte”, in the heart of the Côte des Blancs.

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.

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.

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 star of Graves blancs, offering each vintage a very pure and straightforward wine, discreetly woody. It is not surprising to see this regularity in performance, as it is the own property of  Florence & Denis Dubourdieu, hence the name of the wine.

Stéphane Dief, owner of Clos Manou, had long dreamed of producing a great dry white wine on his terroir at the northern tip of the Médoc, a region particularly suited to the slow maturation of white grapes thanks to its eminently temperate climate (bordered to the west by the Atlantic Ocean and to the east by the Gironde estuary). This dream became a reality in 2020 with the creation of Clos Albus in Valeyrac, a 1.85-hectare plot planted with Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon, and Muscadelle. 2023 is its first vintage, with floral aromas (acacia and broom) and a hint of vanilla.

Known for its red wine, Château Rollan de By also owns 2 ha of alluvial sands on the Gironde estuary, which were planted with Sauvignon Blanc some 30 years ago with the intention of producing a great Medoc white wine.

The owner, Mr. Guyon, decided to apply to the letter the traditional practices for the elaboration of a neat white wine, in the vineyard (high density of 6500 vines per hectare, 100% grassing, manual harvest in crates...) as well as in the cellar (no fining, no filtration, the wine is only clarified by successive rackings, maturing in French oak barrels...).

But he has also integrated the qualitative precepts of today's oenology: short pre-fermentation maceration, low temperature vinification, stirring of the lees, minimal sulfiting...

In a way, the best of both worlds (ancient and modern) are combined to best express the temperate oceanic climate of the northern tip of the Médoc, ideal for white wines: optimal sunshine, mild temperatures without excess, regular rainfall.

The dry white wine of Lagrange, in a precise and pleasant style. As always in Lagrange, the quality/price ratio is there!
