Ratings & Reviews

91 Points - Wine Spectator:
"A fresh Champagne, with a subtle toasty edge, offering a fine, creamy mousse and an open-knit range of soft black cherry, whole-grain toast, spun honey and Meyer lemon peel flavors. Drink now. 600 cases imported." - AN (Dec 2023)

91 Points - Wine Enthusiast Magazine:
"A boisterous mousse leads to a bone-dry palate, with a crisp green-apple flavor and tight minerality. It is still very young and this bottling, like all very dry Champagnes, needs to be aged in order to realize its full potential. Drink from 2021. Roger Voss" - (12/1/2019)
