Why You’ll Love It?

The roots of the Geoffroy family date back to the 17th century. Cumières, a village in the heart of the Vallée de la Marne is where this line of winemakers is rooted. The few acres of vineyards that our ancestors cultivated and handed down from generation to generation provide the link to our Champagnes.

This vintage cuvée is the flagship of the House. And to ensure excellence, we only produce this Champagne in exceptional years and always in small quantities. The philosophy behind this Champagne is for it to reflect the quintessence of the vintage, when we blend the grapes. Each Millésime Extra Brut will therefore be different from the last, so that it reflects the full breadth of organoleptic qualities offered by mother nature

Tastes Like?

The complex nose lets aromas of red and blackcurrant and cherry burst out, mixed with a delicate and sensual oakiness and underpinned by vanilla, cinnamon and pear. Attractive scents of citrus (lemon, mandarin), peach and roasted apricot close this superb olfactory experience. The attack on the palate is pure and of rare density, punctuated by a savoury minerality. It is then the turn of the Chardonnay to reveal its palette of buttery brioche and toast notes, which slip over into coffee and chocolate.
The smooth and creamy effervescence turn this Champagne into a great wine .
