Score 94/100 · Drink 2018-2026, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Jul 2018
The 2008 Brut Nature Les Chênes remains fresh, vibrant and full of life. Hints of almond, chamomile, lemon confit and dried flowers are nicely woven together, but it is the wine’s translucent energy at age ten that is most impressive. Readers can look forward to another handful of years, or more, of very fine drinking.

Score 94/100 · Josh Raynolds, Dec 2014
Light gold. A heady, complex bouquet displays chalky minerals, pear, yellow apple, tangerine and succulent herbs, along with a hint of iodine and building floral character. Chewy and precise, showing real depth to its orchard and citrus fruit flavors. Bright and mineral-dominated on the intensely focused, lingering finish. Disgorged on September 14, 2013.
