93 points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "Based on the 2015 vintage, the NV Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Cramant contains 30% reserve wine from a solera dating back to 1986, and it's produced from 55-year-old Chardonnay vines growing in chalky soils in Cramant. Offering up aromas of fresh peach, candied peel and white flowers, complemented by a subtle hint of amontillado sherry, it's full-bodied, broad and vinous, with a fleshy, muscular core of fruit, impressive structuring extract, lively acids and a long, sapid finish. The warm, sun-kissed vintage makes for a bit more overt weight than is typically the case, but this is still a very fine effort and one that will reward bottle age. It was disgorged in November 2017 with three grams per liter dosage. Drink: 2019-2029. (Aug 2019)"
