96 points Bettane & Desseauve Guide (2026).
95 points Audrey Frick (JebDunnuck.com): "A bright silver/straw color, the 2019 Champagne Blanc De Noirs Les Fortes Terres Extra Brut is entirely Meunier and reveals aromas of white pepper, Mirabel, fresh berries, and delicate flint. The palate is mouthwatering and angular, with a good, chiseled feel and bright acidity, but it’s ripe all the way through, with a refined, lively mousse. This is a ripe and balanced wine to drink over the next 15 or more years. Drink: 2024-2040. (12/20/24)"
94+ points Kristaps Karklins (Wine Advocate): "The 2019 Blanc de Noirs Les Fortes Terres originates from one of the estate’s steepest vineyards in Cuisles, where shallow soils—merely 50 centimeters of clay atop chalk—produce small, concentrated berries. Disgorged in December 2023, this cuvée contains a combined 5.75 grams per liter of dosage and residual sugar, lending it a more charming character. It leaps from the glass with aromas of peach, tangerine zest, pear and early-blooming white blossoms. On the palate, it is full-bodied, concentrated and textural, with a sweet, succulent fruit core balanced by vibrant acidity, culminating in a long, enveloping finish accented by a saline nuance. Notably, it no longer bears the Special Club designation, as Cédric Moussé has chosen to leave the association. Drink: 2026-2035. (Jul 2025)"
93 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2019 Brut Les Fortes Terres, 100% Meunier, is powerful and resonant in the glass. Pear, ginger, lemon confit, tangerine oil, sage and dried herbs build over time. The 2019 offers an attractive mix of brightness and layered volume. It's another gorgeous wine from Moussé. Drink: 2024-2032. (Dec 2024)"
