very attractive aromas of toasted brioche, raspberry, lavender, and black cherry, and it is dry and inviting, with pure red fruits that fill the palate, with its florality lasting long after the finish, with a cleansing lift of salinity — 4 months ago
Classic! BRight fruit (strawberry), crisp acidity, perfect for summer (and sushi)! — 3 months ago
The only Champagne in their flight. First time having this producer.
It has gentle, micro bubbles. Soft mousse. Again, a touch sweet. At least for me. Seems more than 9g. It is interesting to me that with all of France’s rather strict wines laws, I have seen extra brut over 6g & brut over 9g.
Full cherries to kirsch quality, strawberries, pomegranate and raspberries. Gentle dry herbal notes, moist, crumbled chalk & limestone, yeast notes, some white spice, sea fossil/spray, crumbled grey volcanics, pink & red roses, pleasant round acidity, nicely polished finish that is more fruit than earth as it sets and lasts 45 seconds to a minute. — 6 months ago
Just about perfect w/oysters in San Diego! — 2 months ago
Pale lemon in color.
Medium bodied with high acidity and medium sized bubbles.
Dry on the palate with nice complexity.
Showing limes, grapefruits, lemons, green apples, brioche, yeast, minerals and spices.
This 13 year old Champagne feels very young and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly. Complex and interesting.
Easy drinking and good by itself or with food.
11.5% alcohol by volume.

Champagne Cattier – Cuvée Brut Premier Cru N/V
Reims, Champagne – France 🇫🇷
Overview
A Premier Cru blend dominated by 40% Pinot Noir, followed by 32% Chardonnay and 28% Meunier, sourced primarily from the villages of Ludes, Chigny-les-Roses, and Rilly-la-Montagne. A house Champagne that embodies Cattier’s signature style, crafted with 41% reserve wines and aged well beyond the minimum 3 years, showcasing both tradition and depth.
Aromas & Flavors
Lively and elegant, the nose opens with ripe plum, white flowers, and acacia, accented by subtle biscuit notes. On the palate, a mouth-coating wave of brioche and beeswax meets bright lime peel, balanced by a refreshing acidity. The finish lingers gracefully with a nutty undertone and a whisper of chalk.
Mouthfeel
Energetic yet refined, with a fine bead and polished mousse. Dosage at 6 g/L keeps it precise, clean, and perfectly balanced between freshness and roundness.
Winemaking Notes
41% reserve wine gives layered complexity and depth, while extended cellar aging elevates the harmony and finesse beyond the standard.
Food Pairing
Perfect with oysters, sashimi, or light seafood starters. Equally delightful alongside soft cheeses or almond-based pastries.
Verdict
A quintessential Cattier expression — fruit-driven, floral, and elegantly textured. Hard to stop at just one glass! Cheers 🥂 — 5 months ago

Because it’s Sunday….and celebrating the new baby girl. Mom deserved something good. This fit the bill. More serious champagne than just popping bottles in da club. Strawberry preserves over little mini biscuits. Roses on the nose, fresh strawberries and cream with angel food cake. Bright red hue. — 3 days ago
