Occasional wine note

Stop the presses! This Champagne commands a seat at or near the top of all sparkling wines, period. So complex, elegant, seamless, powerful, brilliant, and just plain delicious. You'll be talking about this one for years after your first taste, so save it for your most precious of occasions.

James Suckling

Exceptional freshness with aromas of flinty white stones, flowers, almonds and lemons. There’s hazelnut and strawberry here, too. Complex. The palate has a long, powerful and smooth-honed feel with very assertive citrus flavors, driven by long acidity. A perfect 2008.

Wine Spectator

There’s a supernova of sensation with each sip of this powerful version, This burns bright from start to finish, yet its fine integration and lovely, raw silk–like mousse pull it all together into a seamless, vibrant package.
