Matt Steeves rated this wine as 93/100 with the following review:

A gorgeous vintage Champagne, with a touch of sweetness, making it ideal to enjoy with celebratory toasts. Fresh and lively, the sweet orchard fruit is front and centre, melon and honeysuckle, followed by sweet almond croissant. Balanced, with lovely fresh fruit and baked bread on the long finish. A very persistent mousse that cleanses the palate and leaving the taster craving the next sip. A beautiful crowd-pleasing vintage Champagne. Highly recommended. 93+ points.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
