Reviewed December 2024This is an iconic wine, a pure expression of Chardonnay. With its intense crisp apple aroma and just the first hint of toasty maturity, the Champagne is perfectly in balance. Drink this fine wine now. *Cellar Selection* (RV)

Jeb Dunnuck
The 2014 Champagne Blanc Des Millenaires is a blend sourced from the five villages of Avize, Mesnil-sur-Oger, Oger, Cramant, and Vertus. It has fantastic salinity, with a refined pinpoint mousse, and is medium-bodied. Although it does not lack for concentration, it’s perfumed and floral, with notes of shortbread, fresh pastry, and vanilla. It’s a fabulous and enticing vintage with lots of clarity and focus. Mouthwatering and structured this is a class act that should have no problem aging another three or more decades. 96+ (AF)

Decanter
A delicate, bright and serene edition of one of Champagne’s top, if lesser-known, prestige blanc de blancs, emphasising purity over creamy richness. Plenty of ripe aromatics, with fragrant apricot, mandarin, some fresh mango playing with hazelnut and coffee macaron complexity. There’s a calm insistence to the palate, closer to the 2004 than the tension and drama of 2007 or the generosity of 2006. Seems set to be one of the vintage’s top performers. (TH)

James Suckling
Complex biscuity, yeasty undertones to this blanc de blancs, along with crushed almonds, pears and apples. It’s fresh and beautifully integrated on the palate with silky and elegant layers, fine bubbles and attractive, lingering pastry character. Drink now or hold. (CN)
