Ratings & Reviews
94 Points - Jeb Dunnuck:
"From the 2020, 2019, and 2018 vintages, the NV Champagne Charles De Gaulle Brut is 80% Pinot Noir and the rest Chardonnay, with 7 grams per liter of dosage. It’s forward with ripe aromas of cherry liqueur, saline, and fresh flowers. Medium to full-bodied but powerful and assertive on the palate, it brings forward wonderful fruit intensity and a long, pure finish. Long on the palate, with a refined mousse, it has a more classic feel and a warmth on the finish that remains balanced. Drink 2024-2044." (Nov 2023)
92+ Points - Wine Advocate:
"The latest release of the NV Brut Charles de Gaulle was disgorged in December 2018 with seven and a half grams per liter dosage, and the wine is showing very well, bursting from the glass with a generous bouquet of golden orchard fruits, warm biscuits, honeycomb and peach. On the palate, it's full-bodied, rich and enveloping, with a fleshy core of fruit and nicely integrated dosage that lends the wine an old-fashioned, gourmand profile that's appropriate enough given its namesake. I'd expect this to pick up considerable toasty complexity with additional aging on cork." - William Kelley (Apr 2020)
A CUVÉE OF GREAT CHARACTER
