Sensational nose. Clean, precise, white flowers, chalk. The palate blooms almost perfectly. Warm, touch of butter, chalky. Precise. With this elegant delivery of green apple, hint of toffee. The finish shows the boldness of the vintage without losing its direction. This is a brilliant wine. With amazing depth of texture, finesse and this glorious terroir focused finish.

No.16 comes from the 2016 harvest in Chouilly. For the previous harvest in a larger format, see the 2015 No.15 magnum (1.5 litres).

    Derrière le Mont Aigu No.14 (2014), reviewed by Essi Avellan MW. The bottle here is No.16 (2016).

    "This single-vineyard cuvée comes from a 0.593ha plot in Chouilly planted by Paul Pertois in 1955. With its mid-slope, south-facing position, there is no shortage of concentration. A third of the 2014 cuvée was oak-fermented, which is evident in the mild woody aromatics. Opulent, even lifted fruit: pineapple, dried apricot, baked peach. This is juicy and vinous on the palate, with a smooth texture that verges on oily. The stunning acid line brings focus and vibrancy to it all. This is an instantly impressive style that will take time - 91." Essi Avellan MW's top grower Champagnes by score – Club Oenologique April 2023
