Hints of roasted walnut and toasted brioche are richly smoky and underscored by flavors of raspberry, lemon confit and green pear in this open-knit Champagne, framed by vivid acidity and a lively bead.
Wine Spectator: 92 Points
An elegant Champagne, with a finely detailed mousse and a bright streak of lemon peel–laced acidity carrying well-meshed flavors of patisserie apple and pear, biscuit, smoke and candied ginger. An aperitif style, showing good focus and length. Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay.
Vinous: 90 Points
Light, bright yellow. Musk pear and toasty lees on the nose in the mouth. Fleshy and open-knit, with a hint of bitter lemon pith adding back-end cut. Finishes on a gently smoky note, with very good cling and focus and hint of bitter quinine. this must be the best example of this bottling that I've had in years, if not decades.
Wine Enthusiast: 90 Points
An approachable Champagne, fine in its texture and soft fruit, this bottling has a light edge of brioche, as well as fresh acidity. A touch of citrus keeps the wine fresh.
