94 points Fine Wine Review: "This wine is from six different grape types all interplanted in the vineyard: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, and older grape types that are now rare in Champagne: Arbane, Petit Meslier, and Pinot Blanc. The current bottling (which I tasted) is primarily from the 2009 vintage. It is pure, light, and ethereal with citric (primarily lime) fruit. (11/7/22)"
94 points James Suckling: "This is a gently flinty style with an array of very attractive, fresh peach, pear and melon aromas. The palate has a very smooth, fleshy and deliciously weighty feel with a wealth of rich, attractive fruit. A blend of two parcels of co-planted chardonnay, pinot noir, pinot meunier, arbanne, petit meslier and pinot blanc. Disgorged in May 2019. (9/2/19)"
92+ points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "A cuvée intended to validate Agrapart's contention that terroir trumps cépage, the latest rendition of the NV Extra Brut Grand Cru Complantée is based on the 2016 vintage, complemented by 20% of 2015, and it was disgorged in May 2019 with five grams per liter dosage. Revealing lovely aromas of crisp yellow pear, blanched almonds, white flowers and citrus oil, it's medium to full-bodied, incisive and energetic, with good depth and concentration and a long finish. Drink: 2019-2029. (Aug 2019)"
92 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The NV Extra Brut Complantée Grand Cru is especially airy and lifted. The field blend of the seven permitted grapes yields a distinctly aromatic, weightless Champagne. There is a bit of youthful austerity at present, so I would cellar the Complantée for another 6-12 months at a minimum. Dosage is 5 grams per liter. Disgorged: May, 2021. Drink: 2022-2028. (Nov 2021)"
92 points La Revue du Vin de France: "Complantée is slender and chiseled with a dynamic grain, but it deserves two years of cellaring to reveal itself. The complexity will come with older vines of chardonnay, pinot noir, meunier, pinot blanc, arbanne and petit meslier. (2022)"
