97 points Tom Hewson (TimAtkin.com): "Chardonnay from Cramant in the 2012 vintage. Captivating, layered marine and sourdough top notes, beneath which savoury nuts and coffee mix with candied tropical fruits. Supple and effortless, the lemon cake and charred citrus focus of the palate is wrapped up in toasted praline, dancing to a chalky, finely-tapered close. Stunning. (Dec 2022)"
96 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2012 Extra Brut Vieille Vigne de Levant is another standout in this range from Pierre and Sophie Larmandier. It possesses tremendous intensity and tons of pure power. Lemon confit, apricot, spice, marzipan and dried herbs saturate the palate in a Champagne endowed with serious concentration. The 2012 is dense, rich and full of personality. These 50-70 year-old vines confer notable complexity. The 2012 was vinified in neutral oak and bottled with dosage of two grams per liter. Disgorged: June, 2021. Drink: 2020-2032. (Nov 2021)"
