La RVF 89/100
A beautiful bouquet that appears open yet wrapped by the dosage. You can sense the reserve wines in the aromatic patina with those dried-fruit notes. The palate starts out fairly broad with a quality mid-palate, while the finish is livelier with a sharper acidity.
Wine Enthusiast Roger Voss 90/100
The cuvée from this great Champagne producer is dry, fruity with a fine line of minerality. That is balanced by the apple and crisp citrus-fruit flavors coming together in a vibrant, textured wine. Drink now.
Vinous Antonio Galloni 91/100
The NV Brut Le Réserve (base 2021) is a very pretty, gracious wine. Hints of dried pear, herbs, almond, tangerine peel, dried flowers, mint and tobacco lend tons of nuance throughout. The significant presence of reserve wines adds quite a bit of complexity and character. This harmonious NV Champagne is all charm. This release is based on 2021 but is blended with a 58% reserve wines, on the higher side. What a delight. Dosage is 2.9 grams per liter. Disgorged: May 2025.
