95 Points Wine Spectator

This is a study in chardonnay, the variety stripped of any flattering accoutrements and presented as a pure, dynamic wine. It earns its power from grand cru vineyards in the Côte des Blancs, and it includes reserve wines going back to 1985. Those elements combine in the kind of intense, gripping chardonnay you can find only in Champagne, its flavors hinting at kumquat and loquat, fruity chanterelles and crunchy apples, lasting long after each sip. The wine manages its intensity with grace, so it’s delicious now and well worth aging.
