93 points Wine Spectator: "[$70 list] This graceful Champagne is like the finely tailored suit that somehow never goes out of style, with a lovely overtone of minerally chalk and brine enticing you into the glass, where flavors of apricot and Marcona almond, and hints of passionfruit coulis and pickled ginger, ride the fine, satinlike mousse. Disgorged autumn 2018. Drink now through 2028. 150 cases imported. (9/16/20)"

92 points Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(50% 2015, 50% reserve wine, disgorged summer 2018, dosage 5 g/L). An elegant, pure and airy nose features timid if quite pretty aromas of green apple, citrus, baked bread and a hint of yeast. The refined and equally restrained flavors are animated by an impressively fine mousse that is dense but not foamy, all wrapped in a delicious and clean finale that is drier than the stated dosage would suggest. Lovely stuff and while this could certainly be enjoyed now, it should also be capable of rewarding 3 to 7 years of cellaring. Drink: 2022+. (10/10/19)"

91 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "The new release of Lilbert-Fils Blanc de Blancs non-vintage Brut is composed of a fifty-fifty blend of 2015 base year juice and reserve wines. It was disgorged in the fall of 2018 and finished with a dosage of five grams per liter. The wine offers up a fine bouquet of pear, fresh almond, chalky minerality, bread dough and a topnote of white flowers. On the palate the wine is bright, full-bodied, focused and youthfully complex, with a lovely core of fruit, a brisk girdle of acidity, frothy mousse and fine length and grip on the well-balanced finish. This is tasty out of the blocks and will age very nicely indeed. 2020-2040. (Nov/Dec 2019)"
