More information
In the press: “A stellar champagne made entirely from chardonnay, this is bright, elegant and lightly toasty with a hint of brioche, tangy acidity and tiny, tapering bubbles.”
Tim Atkin, The Times, 29 July 2010 (2004 vintage)

Customer favourite: “This is without question the finest champagne (vintage) I have ever had the pleasure of tasting...and I have drunk champagne from just about every champagne house. It has full flavour, is dry, is sophisticated, and is best taken with food. I am surprised to find it in the UK, because the very best champagne is kept in the region it is produced. I have only once drank a champagne that came close to Mesnil, and that is a Krug vintage 1980.”

    • Press quotes
    "Honeyed, citrussy fruit, biscuity, creamy, intense and refined. This comes from the small, admirably reliable, quality-oriented Le Mesnil co-operative in the grand cru chardonnay village of Le Mesnil Oger. The non vintage is also well worth buying," Joanna Simon, 'Wines of the Week' on joannasimon-wineandfood.blogspot.com, 18 December 2009
