“Bright yellow. Ripe pear and white peach on the fragrant nose, with complicating notes of honey, buttered toast, jasmine and iodine building in the glass. Supple and broad in the mouth, offering juicy pit and orchard fruit flavors and a bracing jolt of bitter orange zest. Finishes on a leesy note, with excellent thrust and lingering florality.” Josh Raynolds 93 Points
“Fresh and focused, with a panoply of flavors—ripe fruit notes of mango, tangy quince and tangerine, joined by a minerally sublayer of smoke, stone and spice. This shows firm structure and intensity, but the overall juiciness of the acidity makes this very appealing right now.” Wine Spectator 92 Points
“The NV Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Reserve is a gorgeous wine laced with minerals, graphite, crushed rocks and bright, citrus fruit. A graceful, elegant wine, the Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Reserve floats on the palate in a focused, beautifully delineated style. The finish is exceptionally elegant and refined. Readers looking for a textbook Blanc de Blancs from Mesnil at an affordable price need look no further. This is superb juice, and is also a noticeable step up from the NV Extra Brut for just a few dollars more. The Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Reserve is Chardonnay from the limestone-rich soils of Mesnil.” Robert Parker 91 Points
