Jeb Dunnuck, 94 Points 

"The NV Champagne BAM! Champagne is a blend of heirloom varietals of Pinot Blanc, Arbanne, and Petit Meslier from the 2011 base vintage and perpetual reserve and was aged for nine years on the lees. It offers beautiful creaminess both aromatically and on the palate, with layered refinement, revealing notes of quince, orchard fruit, and dewy fresh grass. The palate has energy without feeling austere, the mousse is fine and pillowy, and the wine lifted and refreshing. It is such a fun, geeky wine with a lot of pleasure. It is zippy on the back end and makes you come back for more. Drink over the next 20 years." 

James Suckling, 93 Points 

"Fun aromas of dried green mangos and green apples with ginger. Full-bodied with zippy acidity and a long, intense finish. Lots of dried fruit. Spiced pear, too. Really attractive and delicious. Pinot blanc, arbanne and petit meslier. From 2011 vintage. Disgorged June 2021. Drink now." 

Wine Advocate, 92 Points 

"Made from Pinot Blanc, Arbanne and predominantly (about 60%) Petit Meslier, the NV Brut Nature BAM! blends 2009 with 2008 and 2007 and was disgorged in October 2016. The nose is pure but aromatic and fruity, the palate is stimulatingly pure, fresh and salty, and the finish is sustainable, though not as complex as the Royale or the Vigne d'Or."
