93 points Tom Hewson (Decanter): "A highly expressive Blanc de Blancs, bursting with tangerine, papaya and fresh plum notes, cut with grapefruit pith and backed up by buttery shortbread richness. There is juiciness and generosity through the middle here, but also, despite the year's heat and drought, a welcome, if gentle, squeeze of Le Mesnil austerity, without too much of a sense of grip or heat. Immediately rewarding. 100% Chardonnay from Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. Drinking Window: 2023-2028. (Oct 2023)"
93 points James Suckling: "Inviting nose of white peaches, hazelnuts, baked apples and pastries with salted almonds. Focused and gently nutty, salty too, with a medium body and a sleek mousse. Very moreish. 100% chardonnay from Mesnil-sur-Oger, from the 2015 vintage. Drink now. (12/5/23)"
92 points Yohan Castaing (Wine Advocate): "Disgorged as an extra brut with 3.9 grams per liter, the NV Les Rendez-vous de Billecart-Salmon N°4 Chardonnay Extra Brut from Billecart-Salmon reveals a pure, fresh bouquet with aromas of pear, menthol, spring flowers and lemon oil. Moderately weighted with an elegant, tense entry, it’s crystalline with a delicate core of fruit and a saline, mineral finish. This 100% Chardonnay, vinified and matured in steel tanks, is based on the 2015 vintage. Drink: 2023-2030. (11/16/23)"
