Overview

Essi Avellan: Medium-deep lemon. Youthfully floral and attractive red-fruit and marmalade nose. Fine, creamy mousse and a harmonious whole. Nice delicate and purely fruity style. | 89

Simon Field: Pale color, straw, energetic mousse and aromas of summer meadows espying harvest. The palate falters, flat, petrichor, unsure of itself, and ultimately a little short. | 83

Tom Stevenson: Tastes more blended than pure Meunier and really quite fresh. | 85
