93 points Tyson Stelzer (The Champagne Guide): "(tasted in 2023 in France; 65% pinot noir from Mareuil-sur-Aÿ and Avenay, 35% chardonnay from Bisseuil and Mareuil-sur-Aÿ; 70% 2019, 25% 2018 and 5% 2016; 6g/L dosage of MCR; disgorged 18 January 2022) Pinot noir from Mareuil takes a confident and elegant lead, with a core of red cherry and strawberry fruit accented with red apple and spice. A blend of outstanding persistence and beautiful fruit purity, at once succulent and lively. (Edition VII; 2024)"
92 points Sarah Mayo (The Wine Independent): "Very pale gold with fine, quickly dissipating bubbles, the Sélection Vielles Vignes 1er Cru NV is a 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay based on the 2020 vintage. Fermented in stainless steel and finished Brut with a six gram per liter dosage, it opens to delicate and precise aromas of red currant, lemon sorbet, white grapefruit and a touch of honey that are pristine and fresh. The light-bodied palate is joyful with an exuberant acid line swirling around nashi pear and little lemon zest freshness, then finishing with an attractive bitter note. (11/8/23)"
