Description

Rodolphe Péters’ extraordinary perpetual reserve of grand cru Chardonnay makes up 50% of this blend…A beautiful toasted almond, fresh lemon syrup and floral honey nose flows into a palate where fruit and ageing characters meet in perfect harmony. There’s all the follow-through and narrow, brisk energy of the Côte des Blancs here, chalky and tense, yet it melts into deeper notions of nut oil and sourdough bread with a silky, flowing mousse. Perfectly pitched. TOM HEWSON, decanter.com

The NV Brut Cuvée de Réserve Grand Cru is powerful and quite rich. Dried lemon peel, crushed flowers, chamomile, mint and dried herbs fill out the layers effortlessly. There’s gorgeous fruit density and overall presence…especially dense, racy Cuvée de Réserve that can be enjoyed now or cellared for at least a few years. ANTONIO GALLONI, vinous.com

This elegant Champagne glides on the palate, with its fine and creamy mousse, while vibrant acidity and a subtle, chalky underpinning serve as a springboard for flavors of fresh-cut Gala apple, yellow plum, white blossoms and blanched almond. A touch of pleasantly bitter pink grapefruit pith is refreshing on the finish. WINE SPECTATOR

Lemons, white grapefruit, fresh apricots and bread dough on the nose. It’s compact and creamy on the palate, with excellent balance and pleasant lemony freshness. Clean, bright finish…5 g/L dosage. CLAIRE NESBITT, jamessuckling.com It shines in this blend with clarity, precision and excellent freshness of apple, pear, grapefruit and lemon. All the theatrics of his masterful reserve solera build out a backdrop layered with enticing brioche and mixed spice. Its fruit presence contrasts a well-poised malic acid line, with the magnificent frothing salt mineral structure of Le Mesnil singing loud and clear… TYSON STELZER, The Champagne Guide
