97 points La Revue du Vin de France: "Still very young, this Champagne exudes radiant energy and expression. Pinot noir from Bouzy (80%) blended with chardonnay from Tauxières. A wine woven all in lace, with a fine intensity of flavors. The chalky finish seems endless. (Dec 2022/Jan 2023)"
93 points Lisa Perrotti-Brown (The Wine Independent): "The 2016 Millesime Extra Brut is a blend of 80% Pinot Noir and 20% Chardonnay from Bouzy Grand Cru. Aged on lees in oak and bottled in July 2017, it was disgorged in November 2021 and has 3 g/l dosage. The wine has a pale gold color with the faintest blush of pink. It opens with a vibrant burst of fresh raspberries, Bing cherries, and lime leaves scents, followed by suggestions of chalk dust, lemon drops, and toasted almonds with a hint of brioche. The palate is intense and racy with a compelling edge of yeastiness and an exquisitely fine bead, finishing with a red berry lift. This is a very bright, dry, crisp style with plenty of zip. Alcohol 12%. Drink: 2022-2032. (11/3/22)"
