94 points Natalie Earl (Decanter): "A soft and relaxed expression showing beautiful notes of candied pear, red apple skin, smoked nuts, toffee and cooked lemons, with a lightly bitter, saline finish. The mousse is exceptionally soft, almost not there, giving the impression of a still wine on the finish. Aged in bottle at a depth 60m under the sea, off the coast of Brittany, for one year. Drinking Window: 2024-2038. (10/2/24)"
94 points Yohan Castaing (Wine Advocate): "Crafted from equal parts Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay and aged underwater during the summer of 2022, the 2018 Abyss reveals aromas of maritime notes, white fruits, spices, smoke and herbs. Medium to full-bodied, tense and ethereal, it's perfectly balanced with a pinpoint mousse and a lovely gastronomic bitterness. Disgorged with one gram per liter dosage. (10/24/24)"
