The most direct introduction to the Manceaux house style: grower provenance, real structure and broad occasion appeal.

A five-generation grower Champagne house working Premier Cru villages around Rilly-la-Montagne and Taissy plus Grand Cru Mailly-Champagne. The estate has held France's High Environmental Value certification since 2016 and keeps the focus on vineyard expression rather than house scale.

In the glass
Fresh orchard fruit, biscuit and lemon zest; lively acidity, supple texture and an easy vinous finish.

How it is made
The current three-grape blend is dosed at 8 g/L and undergoes malolactic fermentation.

Enjoy it with
Comté, Parmesan, savoury pastries or a celebration aperitif.
