JP Geoffroy: "Champagne Expression is the premier cuvée of the House. Systematically made blending wines from two years, this Champagne will charm you with its dominant fruitiness, its balance and the amazing freshness of the finish in the mouth. This mix of pleasure and refreshment make this Champagne the perfect partner for the aperitif."

TASTING: Ripe and fragrant, with an expressive bouquet that releases beautiful aromas of apples, enhanced with notes of vanilla. On the palate, the attack is refined with a broad range of fruit and a beautifully fresh finish.

 Antonio Galloni Vintage NV – 88P: This is a tasty, easygoing effort to drink now and over the next handful of years. The Expression offers plenty of immediacy. Plum, ginger, spice and dried flowers add layers of complexity.
