Vinous.com – 90 pts – JR: *(roughly 50% Pinot Noir, 35% Pinot Meunier and 15% Chardonnay; 9 g/l /dosage/; LAIBG): Light, bright yellow. Musky pear and toasty lees on the nose and in the mouth. Fleshy and open-knit, with a hint of bitter lemon pith adding back-end cut. Finishes on a gently smoky note, with very good cling and focus and a hint of bitter quinine. This must be the best example of this bottling that I've had in years, if not decades. In the past the Imperial Brut received a /dosage/ of 12 g/l, but no more; in fact, there's talk that in the near future it may be dropped down as far as 7 g/l.* - 01/2015
