93 points James Suckling: "Bread, white peaches and nectarines with a neat, grilled hazelnut and pastry edge. The palate has attractive depth. Really crisp and juicy with plenty of punchy fruit. Drink now."

93 points and 'Best Buy,' Wine & Spirits: "This cuvée has a lower dosage than the Réserve (also recommended here) and spends six months longer on the lees. It’s pale and spicy, with nectarine and loquat flavors, buzzing with energy in the end. A brisk, rooty coolness develops as the wine opens with air, the bubbles well integrated into a supple textural pleasure."

92 points Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(50% pinot noir, 25% chardonnay, 25% pinot blanc, 2.5 years on lees, dosage 3 g/L). A very pretty if restrained nose combines notes of brioche, discreet yeast, apple and poached pear along with a top note of quinine. There is very good richness to the firm and delicious flavors that are supported by a moderately exuberant yeast on the clean and agreeably dry finish that stops just short of being austere. This is drinking very well now and while it could easily be held for a few years, it’s not clear that it will necessarily be the better for it. Drink: now+. (Jan 2022)"
