(Gary Westby, K&L Champagne buyer) 89 points Wine Enthusiast: "In a delicate style, this is pure, delightful aperitif Champagne that enters the mouth gently, the lightest of mousses, and then rounds out with a creamy texture, dry, but not too crisp, the finish soft and caressing." (12/09) According to Wine Spectator: "Candied apple character, with a hint of red berry and a refined texture, mark this elegant, medium-bodied bubbly, which is fresh, with a moderate finish.
