94pts Wine Spectator
A rich version set in a firm, finely honed frame, with exotic spice, lime blossom and orange liqueur notes forming an aromatic thread, which winds through raspberry tart, grilled nut, graphite and crystallized honey flavors. Silky in texture, with a long, mouthwatering finish.
94pts James Suckling
Vibrant and saline with a medium body, tangy acidity and a textured, almost oily palate. Serious and structured Blanc de Noirs with notes of grapefruit, salted almonds, apricot skin and stones. Tight bubbles. Gourmand. 40% perpetual reserve. Drink or hold.
92pts Decanter
This has a vivacious nose of ripe, fresh fruit, especially red berries, that interplays nicely with spicy and floral notes. The mouthfeel is plush but without a trace of heaviness, as the palate demonstrates perfect poise on its way to a magnificently long and seemingly weightless finish. 100% Pinot Noir, dosage 6g/L, disgorged February 2020.
Winemaker Notes
You can see the wine has texture, it’s rich. One the nose, the smell is complex, very fruity: apricot, Mirabelle plum and warm pear. The freshness with the anise and menthol. On the palate, apricot, Mirabelle plum, salinity.
