First Trip 2022

Premier Voyage is an introduction that is far from a mere attempt. From this very first vintage, Mathieu Deshautels asserts a precise interpretation of the great terroirs of the Côte des Blancs. The Chardonnays from Mesnil-sur-Oger and Cramant find a remarkable balance between depth and tension, between flesh and verticality.

Barrel aging accompanies the wine with restraint, bringing more relief than aromatics. The fruit remains pure, carried by notes of citrus, white flowers, and a delicate touch of dried fruits. On the palate, the texture is ample then gradually tightens around a chalky, saline framework of great precision.

Premier Voyage sets the tone for the estate: a terroir champagne, luminous and profoundly vibrant, allowing the chalk to guide the wine to a long, energetic, and intensely salivating finish.
