James Suckling: 96 Points
What a beautiful nose of freshly toasted baguette, tarte au citron and a magical certain something. As rich and silky as it is animating, as sensual and fascinating as it is light-footed, this Blanc de Blancs is a masterpiece! Very long, racy and refined finish. A cuvee of wines from the Grand Crus of Avize plus Cramant, Oger and Le Mesnil. Just 4 g/l dosage. Drink or hold.

Falstaff
Pale golden yellow colour with brass reflections. Ripe yellow apples with delicate nutty undertones, nuances of mango, subtle hints of baked goods and blossom honey, candied orange zest in the background. Taut, finely meshed, white orchard fruit notes, fresh acidity, mineral on the finish, nuances of limes, salty aftertaste, animating style, has length and good ageing potential.
Wine Advocate: 95 Points
This 2013 Rare Collection Blanc de Blancs is crafted with grapes sourced from four villages: Avize, Cramant, Oger and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. Disgorged as an extra brut with five grams of dosage, it reveals a delicate, complex bouquet with aromas of apricot, fresh bread, pastry, almonds, smoke and dried apricot. Medium to full-bodied, it's fleshy and vinous, with a broad attack that segues into a deep core of fruit. It concludes with a chalky, mineral finish
