SF | Soft gold; small bubbles crowd around the rim. Nose of hawthorn, hazelnut, and even crème brûlée; bound to please connoisseur and enlightened amateur alike. A rich, satisfying mouthfeel; the vintage does not lack for acidity, but more important is the complexity, dexterity, and generosity of the fruit—citric, tropical, complex—and the assured, resonant finish. A go-to for those who admire an audacious oak injection in their Champagne. 93
EA | Bright lemon color. Creamy nose, with ripe orchard fruit and a woody, even lactic, touch to it. Sweet and easy-going but aromatically not completely clean. A lovely texture on the sweet and succulent palate. 2023–33. 90
TH | Roasted Bramleys and brine here, an outgoing style bolstered by apricot-kernel richness and some spicy, open, oxygen influence. Grapefruit and pineapple mark the palate, firm upfront but without a great deal of concentration. 87
