Wine Spectator
Vibrant and expressive, with lively apple and cinnamon brioche aromas leading to elegantly complex piecrust, strawberry and spice flavors that linger. (TF)

Wine Enthusiast
A rich, exuberant
nose of apple and sea spray leads to a steely palate
built up by nervy, focused acidity. Accents of oyster
shell and earth permeate the midpalate in this Pinot
Noir-dominant sparkler. (VB)

Connoisseurs Guide
Hinting at fresh lemons
one moment and a touch of chalk at the next all with a light
overlay of autolyzed yeast affirming its Champenoise origin, this
bottling gets it right in most respects but is a tad coarse in its
mousse, and it runs to just enough chalky hardness at the finish
to commend service with lighter foods rather than light-hearted
imbibing on its own.
