99 RJW "Light golden yellow color with abundant, speedy, tiny bubbles; appealing, lifted, honey, almond cream, marzipan, yeasty nose, that changes after 30 minutes in the glass to more of a mushroom, dried shitake nose; delicious, rich but balanced, creamy textured, very youthful, almond, mineral, vanilla, tart pear, ginger palate with refreshing acidity . . . long finish." 97 WS "Silky and fine like featherweight cashmere, this vibrant blanc de blancs is nonetheless laden with ample, expressive flavors. Rich hints of XO cognac and coffee liqueur underscore bergamot and glazed apricot fruit, while smoky minerality, spun honey, grilled nut and exotic spices impart further complexity and linger on the lasting finish."
