Winery notes (NV)
"No.1 Reine Cuvée is a tribute to the family’s Mother and Mémère, Reine Vautrelle Le Brun. The floral pattern is inspired by a precious heirloom ring handed down to grandaughter, her 'petite-fille', Virginie Le Brun.
This classic Méthode Traditionelle blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Meunier has had long term lees ageing and minimal dosage to create a seamless and sophisticated Extra Brut Reserve NV."
Rated Outstanding & 96/100 Cameron Douglas MS, October 2026 (NV)
"There’s no mistaking the complexity and intrigue of this wine from the first nose to the last sip: aromas of brioche and biscuit then peach and citrus, pressed yellow flowers and saline stony soils. Dry, plush, complex with the autolysis leading the palate to flavours of stone and citrus fruit, baked goods and fresh vibrance. High acidity, unctuous and lengthy – a lovely example with excellent drinking from day of purchase through 2034+."
5 Stars & 96/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, September 2026 (NV)
"The inviting bouquet shows white-fleshed peach, lemon sorbet, acacia, and biscotti nuances, followed by a brilliantly focused, seamless, and persistent palate. Wonderfully harmonious and mouth-filling, with refinement and poise, leading to an impressively long, sophisticated finish."

Founded by Daniel and Adele Le Brun, the winery specialises in producing traditional sparkling wines using time-honoured techniques passed down from generations of winemakers in Champagne.

The wines are handcrafted using the finest first press juice, and traditional fermentation methods, ensuring a perfect balance of elegance and finesse.
