Decanter.com – 90 pts – CG: *This 100% Chardonnay from 40-year-old vines on premier cru vineyards displays finesse and elegance rarely found at this price level. Lemony intensity combined with fresh apples and a creamy mouthfeel. Easily one of the best-value Champagnes there is.*

Vinum Magazin World of Champagner Special 2019 – 17,5/20 pts: *Komplexe Aromatik von Gewürzen, exotischen Früchten, mineralische Akzente, Röstnoten, Gebäck; voller Bau, grosse Rasse, aber auch Schliff und Eleganz, endet saftig und lang auf herrlichen, zartbitteren Noten von Grapefruit. Suberb.*

Wine Spectator Oktober 2015: *Shows lovely balance, with the lacy mousse carrying a subtle mesh of poached pear, floral,
graphite, biscuit and grated ginger notes. Well-knit acidity leads to the toasty finish.*

JancisRobinson.com – 17/20pts – JR: *50-year-old vines, a blend of about 65% 2020 with reserve wines from the previous three vintages. Delicate despite the oak influence. A very interesting combo! And a very well-judged blend. Gently rather than aggressively sparkling.* - 11/2023

Vinous.com – 93 pts – AG: *The NV Extra Brut Nature Blanc de Blancs Premier Cru bristles with tension and energy. Lemon peel, crushed rocks, white pepper and jasmine lend striking brightness to this ethereal yet focused Blanc de Blancs. Bright saline notes punctuate the finish in style. The Extra Brut approach works so well in this bottling. Disgorged: May, 2021.* - 11/2021
