92 points La Revue du Vin de France: "Les Mottelettes (Chardonnay from Bouzy) delivers a beginning of gentle evolution with an intensity that evokes tasty Pinot Noir. The precise length can still gain brilliance. (2022)"

Importer notes: "Chardonnay is somewhat rare on the Montagne de Reims, but the Paillards devote 30% of their vineyards to this varietal, planted specifically in the sites with almost no clay topsoil allowing the roots of the vines to plunge directly into the porous chalky limestone bedrock. Planted in 1960, a rare Blanc de Blancs single-vineyard cuvée has been produced from these vines since 2007. In a unique expression of Bouzy terroir, the wine displays aromas of tangy citrus enhanced with exotic notes of pineapple, passion fruit and jasmine displaying the subtle tension between fruit and minerals."
