…good length, persistence and balance. The brighter more floral side of Chardonnay takes shape in the glass. I very much like the sense of energy and brightness here.’ 91 points, Vinous.

The Champagne Guide 2020-2021

The NV Extra Brut Cuvée 82/15 results 60% from a perpetual reserve going back to 1982 and containing 33 vintages up to 2014 with a 40% portion of the 2015 vintage. Gentle vanilla sponge cake and lemon play on the shy nose. The palate has firmness and briskness, a rather chalky backdrop and more of that pleasantly bitter citrus pith, accentuating saltiness an structure. Concentrated, chalky, brisk, energetic and bold, yet absolutely bright and elegant with a lasting and salty finish. Dosage is 1gr/L. Disgorged: February, 2022.
