95 points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "Disgorged in February 2020 with three grams per liter dosage, Doyard's 2015 Extra-Brut Grand Cru Millésimé Œil de Perdrix mingles notes of pear, white flowers and peach with hints of plums, sweet red berries and toasted almonds. Full-bodied, layered and vinous, with a deep and concentrated core structured around lively acids and superb structuring dry extract, it's complemented by a pillowy mousse. Drink: 2021-2038. (Mar 2021)"
93 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "The 2015 Doyard Oiel de Perdrix Extra Brut Millésime is composed from a cépages of seventy-five percent pinot noir and twenty-five percent chardonnay, with the pinot noir hailing from Aÿ and the chardonnay from Avize. The vins clairs do not go through malolactic and are given some extended aging in old Burgundy casks prior to bottling up for secondary fermentation in September of 2016. The wine was aged thirty-six months sur latte and disgorged in September of 2019, with a finishing dosage of three grams per liter. It is quite pale in color and offers up a beautiful bouquet of white cherry, peach, rye bread, chalky soil tones, dried flowers, discreet spice tones and just a whisper of oak. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and complex, with fine mid-palate depth and soil signature, bright acids, frothy mousse and a long, vibrant finish. This is a beautiful wine that is absolutely built for the table! Drinking Window: 2020-2040. (Sep/Oct 2020)"
