"This is assertive and grainy in texture, a big-boned Champagne that's powerful and intensely flavored. Biscuit, graphite, honeysuckle, peach and floral notes come together, defined by the firm structure, and last throughout the complex finish. Needs a little more time for the elements to harmonize. Drink now through 2018. 500 cases imported. 96 points" Wine Spectator

"An elegant Champagne that's on the light side in body, but plenty of fruit and spice flavors hold your interest. It combines lemon, apple and vanilla notes for an attractive package. 88 points" Wine Spectator

"There's richness to offset the vibrant structure of this 1996. Shows toast, candied berry, lemon zest and mineral flavors. Balanced, ending with a chalky sensation around the gums. Still very youthful, with a long life ahead. Drink now through 2018. 93 points" Wine Spectator

"Ripe and bold, rich with its plum, spice and chocolate flavors carried on an exuberant mousse. It's distinctive and sturdy enough to stand up to food. 87 points" Wine Spectator
