92 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "The current release of Laurence Ployez’s lovely non-vintage Brut was disgorged in November of 2020, probably making this from the base year of 2016, as this bottling is always aged for a minimum of three years sur latte. The wine is its customary blend of forty percent each of chardonnay and pinot meunier, along with twenty percent of pinot noir. The bouquet wafts from the glass in a youthfully complex blend of apple, pear, brioche, chalky soil tones, gentle floral tones and a topnote of fresh almond. On the palate the wine is vibrant, full-bodied and complex, with a fine core, excellent mineral undertow and grip, elegant mousse and a long, beautifully balanced and classy finish. This is drinking very well indeed right now, but like all of Laurence’s wines, it will also age beautifully. 2021-2045. (Mar/Apr 2021)"
91 points Wine Spectator: "A nose of smoked almond and saline transitions on the creamy palate to flavors of white cherry, preserved lemon and clover honey in this graceful Champagne. A bright backbone of acidity and a note of chalky minerality drives the finish. Disgorged November 2020. Drink now through 2024. (10/15/21)"
