Score 18/20 · Jancis Robinson MW, Nov 2024

60% Pinot Noir, 33% Chardonnay, 7% Pinot Meunier. Aged on lees a full 18 years. Disgorged November 2022. Dosage 8 g/l. Tasted blind from magnum . Deep gold. Burnished nose, lively and sappy. Complete, at a very good stage of evolution on the cusp of maturity. Lots of character and a dry finish but perhaps too much personality for an aperitif? (JR)

Light and well balanced on the nose. Lots of acidity, still very youthful. Chewy finish. (JR)

Score 17/20 · Jancis Robinson MW, Jan 2010

Interesting tang on the nose – real edge to this wine. Very tight bead. Pretty ambitious, though also pretty sweet and soft. Very neat and dense. Very slightly chewy on the end. (JR)
