Reviews

• Wine Enthusiast: 90 This producer in Chamery on the Montagne de Reims has made a satisfyingly balanced Champagne. With its bright acidity balanced by fresh apple flavors, the wine has a good mix of freshness and fruit. Drink now.
• Wine Spectator: 91 Lightly creamy and mouthwatering, this subtle Champagne offers a rich note of wood smoke layered with flavors of apricot tart, verbena, pâte de fruit and ground spice. Delivers a fresh, open-knit finish. Disgorged March 25, 2014. Drink now through 2019.
