97 points Bettane & Desseauve Guide (2025). 93 points Tom Hewson (Decanter): "Many wines from the 2015 vintage are marked by vegetal or herbal flavours, but this wine from Bruno Paillard shows the year's best face (more than just a solar, sunny, ripe character, according to Alice Paillard). Among the mature notes of dried apple, sourdough toast and roasted grapefruit, there's a crispness and narrowness that keeps the wine from straying into chewy or heavy textures, as 2015s can. With aromatic interest coming on – toasted nuts, maple and powdered ginger spice – it's a really well-aligned 2015 for medium-term drinking. Drinking Window: 2024-2030. (Sep 2024)"
93 points Wine Enthusiast: "[$149 list] The blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay is rounded while also crisp. The Champagne is fruity, textured, layering vibrant acidity and citrus fruits. Ready to drink, it could age further, at least until 2027. Alcohol 12%. (May 2025)"
93 points James Suckling: "Restrained black fruits with licorice root and white pepper. Reductive and closed, yet showing a very tight-knit structure with lemon and strawberry tension. Full body, zesty acidity and quite an astringent and austere finish. 60% pinot noir and 40% chardonnay. Disgorged in 2023. Dosage 4.5g/L. Best after 2-3 years of aging. (7/17/24)"
