Andrew Jefford: Mid-gold; gentle mousse. Very attractive aromas, with lots of bready fullness over some tangerine and orange citrus: classic and well crafted. The palate is firm, vinous, and long, with splendid intensity; that same winning combination of soft bread dough and citrus peels haunts the aromatic notes palate. Texturally it’s full; the ripely green fruits sing out; the dosage is well judged and unobtrusive. Excellent blanc de blancs from 2004. An absolutely pure, virtuous example of the style. 18

Tom Stevenson: Do I detect a little hint of coffee growing here? Rich but beautifully balanced by acidity. Clean and tight, with a focused mid-palate and a fantail on the finish. I like! 18.5
