94pts Wine Enthusiast

Almost entirely Chardonnay, with just a whisper of Pinot Noir, this is a dry Champagne. It is crisp, lively, steely and with great intensity. The apple and lemon flavors are just a part of this impressive wine that could age longer.

91pts Wine Spectator

A firm version, with a light and lacy mousse carrying pretty hints of ripe black cherry, apple blossom, chalk and biscuit. Clean-cut on the moderate finish.

Winemaking Notes

This classic Sézanne Champagne is composed of 96% Chardonnay and 4% Pinot Noir aged over eight years on the lees. It is dosed at under 8g/L and all stainless steel fermented. This is a classic 2008, with fantastic drive, length and minerality, and should age very well if you can keep your hands off of it!
