Michael Edwards: Similar to [JL Vergnon Résonance Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru 2005]: nice, fresh, balance of minerals, green fruits, and a fresh balance. 16

Andrew Jefford: Pale green-gold, with a very fine, sustained mousse that outlasts its flight peers. This is another 2005 that, like [Taittinger Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs 2005], has an aroma whose green, vegetal, shaded canopy notes recall New Zealand rather than Champagne; again you might guess it has some Sauvignon in it. On the palate, too, it is quite severely acidic, with some more of that pea-pod greenness. The sweetness of a conventional dosage level just tastes wrong to me, with that green note and that aggressive acidity: very sweet-and-sour. 12.5

Tom Stevenson: Exploding with autolysis! Length with finesse! 17.5
