95 points Tyson Stelzer (The Champagne Guide): "(tasted in 2024 in France; Clos Faubourg Notre-Dame monopole; planted 1951; 0.29 hectares; 100% chardonnay; fully vinified and aged 7 months on lees in oak barrels of 5–6 years of age; full malolactic fermentation; aged 9 years on lees in bottle). The contrast of Clos Notre Dame in delivering luscious exoticism of fruit intensity in the presence of high-tensile structure is exemplified in 2014 in soon-to-be-released guise. It is filled with dried mango and grapefruit, with a glittering cascade of pronounced saline minerality that signs Vertus, beautifully captured by the ripe fruit focus and fanatical attentiveness of Fourny. It delivers grand concentration and character. (2024)"
