"The shy nose gives gentle fruit, refined but restrained red and yellow plum, shimmers gently. The palate is just as restrained and shows a taut elegance, much enhanced by the presence of reserve wine. There is ripeness of fruit, fine mousse and a lovely phenolic edge that makes the mouth water. Restraint and depth is the name of the game." - Anne Krebiehl MW, Vinous
"The most accessible cuvée from this charming, dedicated producer in the sandy Petite Montagne de Reims area is all about the beautiful suppleness of Pinot Noir in this part of Champagne. Lovely aromas of apple sauce, brown bread and soft apricot fruits, with intriguing details of mixed spice and pine. With a gentle softness of texture and a sense of perfectly pitched maturity from the 50% reserve wines in the blend, it’s a friendly yet engaging entry point into a fine collection of wines." - 92 Points, Tom Hewson, Decanter
Well-defined strawberry with fresh lime-peel and shortbread character. Light-bodied with fine mousse and a nice whiff of cocoa-powder flavor. Tight yet crisp finish." - 92 Points, Aldo Fiordelli, JamesSuckling.com
