Reviews
Wine Enthusiast - July 23, 2024
Wine Spectator - September 30, 2024 "Sleek and harmonious, with a subtle thread of minerally chalk and smoke notes underscoring the ripe Gala apple, nectarine, golden raisin and toast point flavors. Creamy, with a finely detailed mousse and a long, refreshing, well-spiced finish."
James Suckling - August 15, 2024 "A focused, creamy and biscuity Champagne that has almonds, cream, pastries and white flowers on the nose, followed by a medium body with silky bubbles. A very inviting blanc de blancs."
Jeb Dunnuck - December 15, 2025 "The 2018 Champagne Blanc De Blancs A/18 Extra Brut is 100% Chardonnay from Chouilly, Cramant, Oger, Mesnil-sur-Oger, Bisieul, and Cuis and spent six years in the cellars. A floral vintage, this wine boasts elegant notes of white peach, pear, fresh pastry, lemon candies, and fresh almond. Approachable and medium-bodied, the palate is more rounded, with a creamy mousse and lasting suggestions of fresh custard on the finish."
