A lot more elegance and more focussed direction on the palate.

Andre Chemin Brut Millesime
Lovely touch of toast. Creamy sweet palate. Good grip and balanced mouthfeel.
Andre Chemin Rose Brut
Very soft salmon pink. Red fruits. Good acidity.
Andre Chemin Cuvee Celestynka
Very interesting starfruit notes. Steely, earthy. Needs time.
Andre Chemin Tradition Blanc de Noirs
Collects the wine nicely. Lovely controlled pinot. Very focussed. Creamy long finish.
Andre Chemin Rose Brut
Delicate pink. Soft fruity style. Rose petal and strawberry notes.
Andre Chemin Cuvee Selectionee
Sweet citrus and tropical notes. The chardonnay really sings in this wine. There is quite a serious backbone to this. Lingers nicely.
Andre Chemin Tradition Blanc de Noirs
Warm pinot noir nose. Rich pinot palate. Rather simple style but lovely in that.

Eva Chemin heads up this recoltant cooperative with her husband. Their grapes are pressed at the cooperative in Ecueil and they blend the wines themselves. Their style, exemplified in the Tradition Blanc de Noirs, is simple but they are seductive in that way.
The Cuvee Selectionnee is a little step up with a hint of seriousness in it’s structure.
