91 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "[$60 list] Bright and nervy in feel, the NV Brut L'Esquisse is quite a departure from most of the other wines in the range. Slate, white pepper, crushed rocks, mint and dried herbs are all finely sketched. Drink: 2024-2032. (Dec 2024)"
90 points Audrey Frick (JebDunnuck.com): "Mostly from the 2022 vintage with 8% reserve wine, the NV Champagne L'Esquisse Brut is 72% Meunier and the rest Pinot Noir. A copper/straw hue, it jumps from the glass with fruity, expressive notes of wild berries, black berries, violets, and wet stone. Easygoing and approachable, this quaffer is dangerously easy-drinking, with a refreshing mousse and a juicy feel while feeling fully dry. It’s a charmer to enjoy over the next few years. Drink: 2024-2028. (12/20/24)"
Producer notes: "70% Pinot Meunier, 30% Pinot Noir. The Esquisse aims to bring together the new and young plots of Champagne Moussé. Designed to be fruity and taste young, this cuvée has a large proportion of sizes which gives it great drinkability. This entrée level cuvée is fresh and young with scents of red and white fruits, floral aromas and hints of citrus. The palate unfolds with a fruity complexity of tart cherry, pomegranate, white raspberry and peach with delicate minerality. It's extremely well balanced without any heaviness and a fine creamy mousse."
