93 points Falstaff Guide: "Bright golden yellow with orange reflections. Delicate aroma of redcurrant confit, red apple, rosehip and orange blossom, with air a hint of smoke and cookie. Elegant, juicy, whipped foam with a red-fruity aftertaste clings to the palate, relatively mild acidity with a creamy savoury note, very clear and linear structure, dark minerality. Needs air. Unconventional character with good certain ageing potential. Alcohol 12%. (9/30/22)"
92 points Jeb Dunnuck: "Made from 80% Meunier and the rest Pinot Noir, the NV Champagne Eugene is a bright yellow color and reveals honeyed aromas of ginger, honeycomb, preserved red berries, and flowers. Medium-bodied, it takes things up a notch in quality on the palate, with a more serious texture, although it remains easygoing and approachable, with a fluffy mousse and a note of savory broth on the finish. It’s a very well-styled sparkler to drink over the coming 10 years. Disgorged July 2023. Drink: 2024-2035. (12/20/24)"
92 points Tom Hewson (Decanter): "Coming from a perpetual reserve started in 2003, it's a delicate but cleverly opened-up, youthful style of dried apple and pear, peach and blossom, succulent with soft cherry but snappily dry and light-footed. 20% Pinot Noir adds a little structure and weight. Cédric Moussé turns out some of the Marne Valley's most refined, charming Meunier wines from the south-facing slopes of Cuisles on the north bank of the Marne river. Drinking Window: 2024-2026. (3/9/24)"
92 points Wine Spectator: "Balanced and well-spiced, with a skein of ground clove, cardamom and ginger winding through flavors of ripe white peach, soft fig and baked plum. Softly juicy, offering a raw silk–like mousse. Notes of salted almond, chamomile, smoke and spun honey linger on the finish. Meunier and Pinot Noir. Disgorged June 2023. (11/30/24)"
91 points La Revue du Vin de France: "The Eugene cuvée, drawn from a perpetual reserve, boasts more vinosity and richness, but without any heaviness of style. (2024)"
