TCJ assessment

A tense and mineral Champagne, with fresh red fruit at the center of the expression. The fruit is precise and energetic, supported by acidity that gives the wine freshness and definition.

The palate shows very good balance, combining the structure of Pinot Noir with a clear mineral character. There is tension throughout, but the wine remains fluid and composed, with none of its elements dominating the others.

A focused and balanced expression of Pinot Noir from the Côte des Bar, driven by red fruit, minerality and freshness.
