James Suckling: 97 Points
A wild energy here with sliced dried apricots, lychees, Asian pears and iodine. Chalk. Medium-bodied, it has a very tight palate with elegance and structure. Extremely long and polished. Pinot noir with a dash of chardonnay. Aged 11 months in 50% old and 50% new wood barrels. Dosage 5 g/L. Disgorged November 2024. Drink or hold.
Vinous: 95 Points
The MV 20 is fabulous. It's not an obvious wine but rather a Champagne built on finesse and understatement more than anything else. Orchard fruit, white flowers, mint and chalk open first, followed by light tropical accents that appear with a bit of time in the glass. This is such a racy, classy Champagne. Disgorged: October 30, 2024.
