Chardonnay 87% Pinot Noir 13%

Tasting notes

The initial impact is rounded and bubbly with a festive and seductive style. The tasting subsequently reveals a more complex wine, with several dimensions. The acidic structure sets the rhythm right to the finish but the dosage tempers it well. The wine becomes grapey, pervasive and the effervescence is gradually tamed. The structure is changeable. Soft at first it becomes more decisive as the body and dosage dominate the acidity and effervescence.

More About The Winery

Champagne Perrot-Batteux & Filles is a small, family-run grower estate in Bergères-lès-Vertus, at the southern end of the Côte des Blancs. Founded in 1985 by Maryline and Gervais Perrot with just a few hectares and a traditional press inherited from Jean Raulet, the domaine quickly established itself as a boutique producer of Chardonnay-driven Champagnes.

Economic challenges caused production to pause between 1999 and 2009, but the family legacy was revived with passion and energy by the couple’s daughters, Cynthia and Céline—hence the “& Filles” in the name.

Today, the estate farms about 6 hectares of vines, with 95% planted to Chardonnay, the emblematic grape of the Côte des Blancs. Annual production remains deliberately limited to around 25,000 bottles, ensuring meticulous care from vineyard to cellar.The Champagnes of Perrot-Batteux & Filles are marked by their purity, minerality, and elegant precision, reflecting both the chalk-rich soils of Vertus and the intimate, hands-on approach of a true grower family.
