James Suckling

Attractive salmon color with flint, white-pepper and delicate cantaloupe aromas that follow through to a medium body with bitter grilled-lemon and orange-peel flavors. Very intense aftertaste. Lots of character. A blend of 94% chardonnay and 6% pinot noir. Dosage 5 g/L.

Huon Hooke - The Real Review

Golden-amber colour with tinge of rose-gold. The bouquet has smoked meats and charcuterie, with roasted hazelnuts and lots of layers, including some sherry aldehydes. Very mellow, mature and complex. Dry finish, too. Lots of reserve wine apparent. A delicious drink.

A very pale rosé champagne with delicate strawberry and raspberry aromas, but this is as much about the elegance of chardonnay as anything else. Long, filigree finish that’s all berry flavors and hard to resist! A cuvée of 94% chardonnay from Cramant, Chouilly, Oger, Cuis and Vertus with 6% pinot noir from Bouzy. Disgorged in October, 2021 and with very low dosage for this category.

(90% chardonnay and 10% pinot noir, was aged on its lees for 18 months and disgorged in June, 2013): Pale orange-pink. High-pitched, mineral-laced aromas of redcurrant and strawberry, with sexy floral and Asian spice notes building with air. Tangy and precise, offering intense red fruit and floral pastille flavors and a touch of bitter quinine. Closes precise and very long, with impressive vivacity and a hint of dusty minerals.

(90% Chardonnay and 10% Pinot Noir; 6.5 g/l dosage ; disgorged in May, 2014): Light orange-pink. Complex, highly perfumed bouquet displays scents of pink grapefruit, orange zest and strawberry, with a sexy floral note building in the glass. Mineral-driven red berry and blood orange flavors show excellent clarity and are underscored by a spicy nuance. Finishes tight, dry and long, with repeating minerality.
