Essi Avellan | Elegant peachy color. Appealing and inviting softly fruity apricot and yellow-apple nose. Round and plush on the palate, with cushiony mousse and a sweet, fruity finish. Easy to approach, fruit-forward, and ready-to-go Champagne. | 92

Simon Field | Crepuscular color, copper catching the light toward the end of the day. The mousse is understated, the aromatic dominated by griotte, wild strawberry, and hints of fig; gastronomically appealing. Thereafter, notes of rosehip syrup and black cherry hold sway; spice and even white pepper. A distinctive style that will not want for adherents. It seems oddly sweet, oddly dry—a function of the vintage and the carefully measured mechanic of extraction, no doubt. | 89

Anthony Rose | An attractive, coppery, onion-skin color, this shows not just the delightful sweetness of strawberryish aromatics but the added complexity of autolysis from extended time on the lees. There’s a finely textured mousse exploding with a lovely complexity of flavor in the mouth, juicy mulberries etched with elegant acidity and bolstered by a creaminess of texture balanced by a fine blade of refreshing acidity. | 95
