A Champagne shaped by time rather than a single season, Paradoxe draws from five consecutive harvests — 2019 through 2023 — weaving together 60% Chardonnay and 40% Meunier into a wine of quiet complexity. Bottled with zero dosage at 0 g/L, it reveals itself without adornment, guided purely by fruit, site, and patience.

The nose opens like a morning bakery: warm pastry and fresh bread layered with ripe pear and a gentle creaminess. There is generosity here, but always held in check.

On the palate, it begins with a delicate, almost tender impression of sweetness before tightening into something more structured and composed. The succession of vintages brings subtle layers of freshness, ripeness, and early evolution. Chardonnay brings clarity and lift, while Meunier fills the mid-palate with roundness and quiet depth.

The finish settles into a richer, more serious register, carried by a fine, savoury bitterness that adds tension and length — leaving a lasting impression that calls you back for another sip.
