95 points James Suckling: "Creamy and flavorful, yet it remains precise and vertical, with an array of lemons, green apples, pie crust, almonds, hazelnuts and chalk. Medium-bodied with creamy, fine bubbles. Lots of energy, with zesty citrus notes at the end. Layered blanc de blancs. 100% chardonnay from 4 Grand Cru villages. 40% from 2018 and 60% from 2017. Disgorged May 2022. Drink now or hold. (7/18/22)"
95 points Peter Moser (Falstaff): "Light greenish-yellow, silver reflections; lively, fine flinty mousse. Nuances of ripe yellow tropical fruit, a hint of apple and pineapple is underpinned by a pleasant minerality and gently roasted hazelnuts. Taut, fresh, well-structured, tight-knit palate dominated by citrus fruits, very seductive and easy to drink, salty-limestone finish. One of the best non-vintages, top price-performance ratio! (11/19/20)"
94 points Tyson Stelzer (The Champagne Guide): "(tasted in 2023 in France; 100% chardonnay; Avize, Oger, Cramant and Oiry; 40% 2019 base vintage; 60% 2018 reserves; 20-70 year old vines; representative of the domain in its vineyard surface; 50% of reserves matured (not fermented) in demi-muids; unfined and unfiltered; aged 30-42 months on lees; 4g/L dosage). An excellent Terroirs that encapsulates the surface of the domain and translates it with character and precision. A core of ripe citrus, peach and fig carries fantastic line and length, underlined by the inimitable, saline, crystalline minerality of the northern Côte des Blancs. (Edition VII; 2024)"
93 points Kristaps Karklins (Wine Advocate): "The NV Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Terroirs is an excellent introduction to the estate’s Chardonnays. Disgorged in August 2024 with three grams per liter dosage, it’s composed of 20% from the 2021 vintage (vinified in tank), 50% from 2020 and 30% from 2019, with half of the reserve wines aged on the lees in approximately 30-year-old demi-muids. Heavily based on Oger (around 40% of the blend), with the remainder coming from Oiry, Cramant and Avize, it’s already expressive, offering aromas of honeysuckle, nectarine, bread and fresh hazelnut. Medium to full-bodied with bright acidity and complemented by a pillowy mousse, it concludes with a long, sapid finish. Drink: 2024-2034. (12/19/24)"
93 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The NV Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Terroirs Grand Cru is another terrific wine in this range. This release is a blend of 30% 2020, 50% 2019 and 20% 2018, unusual in that the youngest vintage is not the principal vintage in the blend. That's a choice that paid off beautifully in terms of shaping the wine's balance. Pretty floral and citrus notes extend the finish. Dosage is 5 grams per liter. Disgorged: May 2024. Drink: 2024-2030.
