Son Louis has been bequeathed several choice parcels from the family domaine and is making quite a splash with his oak-fermented, snazzily packaged bottlings. Mont des Chrétiens is a celebrated parcel in Écueil planted uniquely to Chardonnay. In Louis’ capable hands it yields a champagne of impressive depth and authority, with a potent, smoky nose and exceptional cut and length on the palate. Bottled in magnums only.
