Reviews
James Suckling - July 18, 2025 "Super-intense and floral with broom bush and candied citrus. Rich with some stone-fruit ripeness, honey and walnuts. Slightly exotic. Chalky and nutty. Light- to medium-bodied with salted butter, crisp acidity and a polished, fruity finish."
Vinous - January 31, 2015 "Pale gold. Nervy lime, ginger and floral scents, with suggestions of iodine and tarragon. Tightly wound, mineral-driven citrus fruit flavors put on weight with air and take a turn to deeper nectarine and pear. Unfolds slowly on the finish, hanging on with excellent tenacity and resonating mineral and floral notes."
Jeb Dunnuck - December 20, 2024 "A bright straw color, it’s a bit more forward but remains elegant on the nose, with more notes of fresh peach, raw hazelnut or almond, and citrus zest. It has a lovely salinity and gastronomic feel and will offer good longevity over the coming 10 or more years."
Wine Spectator - August 11, 2025 "A balanced, mineral-driven Champagne, showing a fine, lacy texture that softens the impact of the firm spine of acidity and carries flavors of poached apricot and white cherry, candied kumquat, blanched almond and verbena. The lasting finish offers minerally smoke, oyster shell and saline notes."
