Moncuit/Robert Extra Brut Champagne BdB Grand Cru Réserve Perpétu NV

96 points Audrey Frick (JebDunnuck.com): "The NV Champagne Grand Cru Reserve Perpetuelle, which includes wines going back to 2006, comes entirely from the Grand Cru village of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger and was vinified and aged in oak barrels. A bright yellow/straw color in the glass, the nose is beautifully layered and compelling, with refined, decadent aromas of fresh baked brioche, poached apples, a hint of praline, and lemon bars. Medium-framed yet rounded, it fills the palate with fantastic balance and a harmonious feel. Its refined mousse frames the wine beautifully, it has a lovely silky texture throughout, and the focus through the finish is remarkable. It’s a superb wine, and I love it. The winemaker has really found his stride over the past several years, so if you’ve been sleeping on these wines, now’s the time to check back in. It’s a lot of wine for less than $100. Bravo. Drink 2024-2044. It was disgorged in December of 2022 and has zero grams per liter of dosage. Drink 2024-2044 (Dec 2024)"

93 points Kristaps Karklins (Wine Advocate): "Hailing entirely from the village of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, NV Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Extra Brut Réserve Perpétuelle incorporates 15 vintages between 2020 and 2006, matured in 50-hectoliter foudres. Disgorged in May 2022 without dosage, it is a wine that is more demonstrative than Les Grands Blancs, opening in the glass with a bouquet of considerable complexity, revealing notes of peach, white flowers, hazelnut and brioche. On the palate, it’s racy-fresh and harmonious, with a pillowy mousse and concluding with a long, chalky finish. This cuvée continues to go from strength to strength and represents a superb value. Drink 2024-2033 (Dec 2024)"

93 points James Suckling: "Lemon, almond, sourdough, sea-salt and grapefruit character here, with fantastic freshness and just a hint of nutty complexity. It's medium-bodied with very fine bubbles and a lively finish. 100% chardonnay from Le Mesnil sur Oger. A blend of all the vintages from 2006 to 2019. Disgorged May 2022. 0g/L dosage. Drink now.
