Les Rocheforts translates to 'the strong rocks.' In 2012, Etienne started a separate perpetual reserve just for Les Rocheforts. This 1er cru single-vineyard in Bisseuil sits on pure chalk soils and creates a precise and beautifully expressive Blanc de Blancs (produced with 25% reserve wine). About 50% of the wines see used neutral oak and 50% stainless steel vats. Full malolactic fermentation. Aged on fine lees in bottle 18-24 months before disgorgement.

91 pts Vinous (Galloni)

The NV Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Les Rocheforts Premier Cru was picked in the eponymous parcel in Bisseuil in the Marne Valley. A creamy, nutty and slightly smoky nose portrays ripe Golden Delicious apple. The palate is vivid with apple freshness and a juiciness that unites ripe apple flesh with lemony crunch and vigor. Frothy mousse is energetic and swings lemon about, there is something deeply satisfying about the briskness and clean-cut tautness of this wine, despite all its youthfulness. Dosage is 2gr/L. Disgorged: 8.2024.  - By Antonio Galloni on October 2023
