Score 94/100 · Drink 2011-2032, Kristaps Karklins, Wine Advocate, Dec 2025

Disgorged in 2010 and now at full maturity, the 2000 Blanc de Blancs Comtes de Champagne is drinking with great generosity, wafting from the glass with a deep bouquet that mingles aromas of roasted cacao beans, gingerbread, lemon confit and marzipan with a touch of buttered toast. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and multifaceted, ample and textural, with a layered core yet without any heaviness, enlivened by a pinpoint mousse and culminating in a long, enveloping finish. If you own a bottle, why not open one tonight?

Pale straw. Very fresh and refreshing. Riesling-esque. Mouth-filling and filigree textured. Nicely matured – we’re at a good point to drink this. A delightful surprise, this one. Not a vintage with a fabulous reputation but it has developed well, better than Loïc Dupont expected, and this is beautifully balanced. (JR)

Tight knit with a dry finish. Very lively. Still flirtatious and refreshing. (JR)

Score 18/20 · Drink 2009-2020, Jancis Robinson MW, Dec 2012

Lively and quite rich. Good freshness and openness. Definitely more developed than the 2002. Not for dosage-phobes. (JR)
