Premier Voyage 2023

Premier Voyage brings together Chardonnays from Le Mesnil-sur-Oger and Cramant in a blend that expresses Mathieu Deshautels’ distinctive sensibility. The saline tension of Le Mesnil meets the richness of Cramant, giving this Blanc de Blancs remarkable depth and energy.

This edition, based on the 2023 harvest, delighted us when we tasted it at the domaine. The wine unfolds generously, with a palate that is both broad and finely defined. Ageing in oak subtly enhances the texture, allowing the Chardonnay to express itself fully.

On the palate, freshness runs through the wine, lending it movement and vitality. Its chalky texture carries through to a long, saline and delicately mouth-watering finish. Everything comes together with great harmony: the breadth, the finesse and the energy that draws you back to the glass.

A superb Premier Voyage, just as delightful shared as an aperitif as it is captivating at the table.
