Michael Edwards: A more delicate expression than [Lanson Noble Cuvée de Lanson Blanc de Blancs Brut 1995] but still exceptional. 17

Andrew Jefford: Pale to mid-gold. A much brighter, fresher wine than many of its peers; still softly and freshly lemony. On the palate, it is lemony, intense, and long, with some powderedstone complexities to finish. Well-preserved, even athletic, aged blanc de blancs, with a considerable arsenal of charm. I’d love to spend a little time with this wine. 16.5

Tom Stevenson: Nice, fresh, crisp—but am I missing something? I would try this at the table. 17.5
