Score 93/100 · Drink 2021-2033, William Kelley, Wine Advocate, Mar 2021

The 2016 Premier Cru Rilly-la-Montagne was disgorged in January 2020 with three grams per liter dosage. Offering up notes of pear, apricot, pastry cream and white flowers, it's medium to full-bodied, pillowy and incisive, with tangy acids and chalky grip. It's one of the more ethereal wines in the range.

The 2016 Rilly La Montagne, 100% Pinot Noir, possesses striking inner perfume and tons of sheer allure. Medium in body and gracious, the Rilly has much to offer. It is not especially vinous, as the Bérêche wines can be, but rather a Champagne that impresses with the understated finesse and persistence that come from this relatively high altitude site. Kirsch, Mirabelle plum, mint, spice and dried rose petal are some of the many aromas and flavors that emerge. The Rilly has so much to offer. Dosage is 3 grams per liter. Disgorged: January, 2020.
