Michael Edwards: Ripe yellow predominant color; the gras ripeness of fruits melds with a decent acidity crispness on nose and palate. Well made. 16

Andrew Jefford: Full gold; steady mousse. Broad, clean, attractive; generalized northern orchard fruits: apple, pear, quince. And the palate is exactly what the nose promises. This is never going to be a blanc de blancs to write essays about, but it does its job very cleanly and effectively, and no one will feel short-changed in sipping it. It has elegance; the fruit quality is very sound; it has medium length, vinosity, and sappiness. Simply delicious, in sum. 16

Tom Stevenson: Lovely, fresh citrus-fruit aromas, very young, but with a gorgeously soft mousse. Drink now or in 24–36 months for something more evolved. 17
