Decanter: 96 Punkte
"Fragrant nose of Turkish delight, floral notes of rose with buttery bread, orange rind, peach, caramel and toast. Insanely fragrant and perfumed - really alive on the nose. Subtle and sophisticated on the palate, I love the immediate zing and really fine bubbles. Cherry fruit with a touch of sweetness and a savoury, herbal elements as well as soft cinnamon spice. Feels light and easy to drink, but with nuance and complexity. A really enjoyable wine with plenty of flavour and really lovely red apple, cherry and cranberry juiciness. It delivers the nuances of maturity and evolution with such drinkability. 3.5g/l. Made from Pinot Noir in the grands and premier crus of Mailly, Vertus, Verzenay and Chardonnay from Avize and Chouilly as well as 9% of Pinot Noir from Riceys vinified as red wine." - Georgina Hindle (02/2025)

"(Champagne; 63% Pinot Noir; 37% Chardonnay; with a dosage of 3.5 g/l; 12% alcohol). Saline and more evolved aromatically, with secondary notes the first to reveal themselves. A hint of white truffle. Confit strawberries, iodine and sea-spray, peach-skin. Mirabelles. Frangipane. In the mouth this is quite chewy, with almost the sensation of the peach skin from the aromatics reappearing in textural form on the palate – bringing with it almost a little tannin which I love. Quite serious and chiselled on the palate, the dosage right at the lower limit which is an excellent choice. Youthful – but rather more so on the palate. Long and tapering, pure and precise if perhaps lacking a little of the complexity of the non-rosé cuvée." - colin Hay (03/2025)
