91/100
Pretty nose of apricots, peaches, orange zest, shortbread and cream. Light-to medium-bodied with bright acidity and fine bubbles. Very fresh and balanced with a creamy, lemony and biscuity palate.
EXTRA BRUT
91/100
Fruity and intense on the nose with dried red currants but with some real complexity below including bread dough. Full-bodied and flavorful on the palate but with the acidity really lifting this through.
EXTRA BRUT PREMIER CRU ROSÉ
92/100
A delicious, nervy and well-driven blanc de noirs, consisting of 50% pinot noir and 50% pinot meunier. The nose expresses notes of spiced pears, almond powder and stones. Dense and vivid with a delicious center-palate. Flavorful finish with length.
EXTRA BRUT PREMIER CRU BLANC DE NOIRS
92/100
Almonds, brioche, orange curd and yellow plums on the nose. It’s ripe, rounded and lightly nutty, with excellent balance and softness for a brut nature.
BRUT NATURE GRAND CRU
92/100
Aromas of dried apple, pineapple, salted lemon, hazelnut and biscuit. It’s medium-bodied with bright acidity and fine bubbles. Lovely biscuit and almond character.
BRUT NATURE CHOUILLY GRAND CRU
95/100
Restrained and rather austere nose with butter and yogurt, basswood and candied-citrus depth. Firm, zesty acidity with a tight-knit structure, yet polished, with a chalky mineral aftertaste.
BRUT NATURE LE MESNIL-SUR-OGER GRAND CRU
92/100
This has aromas of dried mango, baked apple, cherry clafoutis, toasted hazelnuts and orange curd. It’s medium-bodied with bright acidity and soft bubbles. Lots of juicy fruit.
BRUT NATURE VERZENAY GRAND CRU
91/100
This has aromas of dried apples, orange zest, grapefruit pith, raspberries and biscuits. Light to medium body with fine bubbles and crisp acidity. Fresh and bright.
BRUT NATURE VILLEDOMMANGE PREMIER CRU LIEU-DIT "LES RIBAUDS"
93/100
This has aromas of dried pineapple, pear, pie crust, dried honeysuckle, chalk and sourdough. It’s medium-bodied with vibrant acidity and sleek bubbles. Bone-dry, yet well balanced and flavorful.
BRUT NATURE CRAMANT GRAND CRU LIEU-DIT "LES BAUVES"
93/100
Very fresh lemon and lime peel with strawberry and strawberry leaf, enhanced by restrained, leesy character. Large yet smooth bubbles with zesty, integrated acidity and a good, fruity finish.
