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)"
