96 points James Suckling: "Very complex nose of citrus blossoms, floral honey and brioche with a hint of fresh mushroom. Really concentrated, but so incredibly focused and precise, this is a masterpiece of chardonnay elegance! Very long and extremely mineral finish that lights up the sky like fireworks. A cuvée of wines from the Grand Cru villages of Cramant (60%) and Chouilly (26%) with wine from the 1er Cru village of Cuis (14%), the oldest vines dating back to 1911 and 1913. Drink or hold. (7/18/22)"
95 points Falstaff Guide: "Light golden yellow, silver reflections, fine mousse. Inviting yellow fruit nuances, Cox orange apple, delicate meadow herbs, fine minerality, lemony nuances, underlaid with a fine brioche touch. Powerful, juicy and lively structure, white pome fruit, limes, salty finish, lets the soil of Cramant speak with a hint of flintstone, good further aging potential. (Deg. 6/21) Alcohol 12.5%. (10/6/23)"
95 points Bettane & Desseauve Guide (2023).
93 points Essi Avellan, MW: "100% Chardonnay. Cramant Chardonnay leads the way here, complemented by 26% from Chouilly and 14% from the premier cru of Cuis. The colour is a medium-deep lemon hue. Soft and fruity on the nose, with a melange of citrus fruit and orchard fruit. The aromatics are showing some toasty and fruity evolution, remaing youthful despite the long ageing on lees. On the palate, this is lush, with a round body over a fine acidic backbone. But there is a slight edge of austerity to the long, fruity finish. Dosage 4g/l. (Feb 2023)"
93 points Tom Hewson (TimAtkin.com): "Chardonnay from Cramant, Chouilly and Cuis. Wild apple and hedgerow present an involved, lightly savoury nose here with herb and pepper over slightly grippy dried peaches. Some of the extremity of 2015 is on show here, but it does make this an earlier bloomer than some iterations. (Dec 2022)"
93 points Audrey Frick (JebDunnuck.com): "A hint of smokiness in the 2015 Champagne Special Club Brut is followed by pithy citrus of grapefruit, white flowers, and bread dough. It has linear and energetic tension, with a long driving finish. Drink: 2022-2032. (11/7/22)"
92 points Wine Spectator: "[$103 list] A vibrant blanc de blancs, with a chalky underpinning and a mouthwatering frame wrapped in the creamy mousse, which carries flavors of glazed pear and tangerine, creamed almond and candied ginger. Disgorged January 2022. Drink now through 2030. 60 cases imported. (11/30/22)"
