Stacks of toast and roasted coffee in the nose here and, with a bit of aeration, also fresh apricot! A focused and structured mouthfeel with emphatic mousse and chalky acidity, this makes a bold statement, but also has plenty of depth and a powerful long finish.

Wine Spectator
This mouthwatering Champagne presents a tightly meshed mix of blackberry coulis, lemon meringue pie and candied ginger flavors on a finely detailed mousse, underscored by a rich skein of ground spice that unwinds and lingers on the racy finish.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The NV Brut Premier Cru is a blend of 70% Chardonnay and 30% Pinot Noir (with 15% of reserve wines) from the Côte des Blancs, Montagne de Reims and the Vallée de la Marne. Pure, bright and fresh on the lovely aromatic nose, this is a very delicate, round, fruity and elegant Brut with good intensity, structure and juicy length.
