James Suckling: 95 Points
A subtle and refined champagne with such beauty and satisfaction. Flint and apples with lemon aromas follow through to a medium body with fine bubbles, pie crust and oyster shell. Dry finish. Hints of salt. Mostly 2021 base wine with about 40% reserve wine.
Wine Advocate: 92 Points
A 100% Chardonnay, sourced 50% in the village of Aÿ and the rest from Louvois, the NV Blanc de Craie Brut offers up aromas of mirabelle, anise, licorice, herbs and ripe orchard fruits. Medium to full-bodied, vinous and textural, it's perfectly balanced, with a round, supple mid-palate that segues into a saline, long and ethereal finish. Based on the 2021 vintage complemented with 40% perpetual reserve, it was bottled in 2022 and disgorged in December 2023 with a dosage of six grams per liter.
Wine Spectator: 91 Points
Juicy nectarine and blood orange sorbet flavors are set on the creamy mousse of this bright and balanced Champagne, accented by hints of orchard blossom, smoked almond and pickled ginger. Drink now.
