91 points Anne Krebiehl (Vinous): "The 2015 Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Héroïne Avize Grand Cru was made in stainless steel. The nose reveals a gentle hint of waxy apple skin and melted candlewax, broadening out into Golden Delicious apple flesh with some wet polenta. The palate is rounded, speaks of the warm 2015 vintage with its mellowness, altogether this is looser, less focused than the dreamy 2014. The saltiness and the complexity are there, but not the essential tension. The finish is rich and smooth with soft umami and an apple pip bitterness, definitely for the table. Dosage is 2gr/L. Disgorged: October, 2023. Drink: 2023-2030. (Nov 2023)"
Producer notes: "Assemblage: 100% Chardonnay. Vineyard: Avize Grand Cru. Soil: Chalk. Aging: 84+ months on the lees. Disgorged/Dosage: September 2021, 2g/l."
