Gourmands, lovers of their terroir, both technical and creative, Estelle, Jean-Bernard and their son Julien, present a range of Champagnes in the style of a gourmet House.
If Estelle wears an apron in the kitchen, Jean-Bernard and Julien also wear it in the "lab": a place where rigor and precision are required alongside pleasure and gourmandise.
Their champagnes are conceived in the manner of chefs: "Façon Brut", "Façon Soléra"... precious indications for understanding each of their cuvées.

Tasting
If its name evokes greatness (opera: admirable work, masterpiece), it does so to highlight its richness of expression.
Flattering and very complex nose (ripe wheat, fresh cocoa, marshmallow, dried fruit, quince, lemongrass). Soft touch of the bubbles in the mouth, opulent aromas (praline, candied lemon). Racy Grand Cru, great tension given by the Chardonnay on limestone.
