James Suckling, 94 Points 

"Exciting aromas of gingerbread, grapefruit, caraway, pear skins and crushed almonds. Hints of salted caramel and pie crust. Medium-bodied, with beautifully integrated bubbles and delicious spicy pastry notes. Long and flavorful." 

Wine Enthusiast, 92 Points 

"Yeasty and brimming in brioche and custard, this is a rich, generous and textured sparkling wine, made from blending 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay and given a minimum of two years of aging. Dried cherry and a hint of dried herb provide complementary contrast."

Connoisseurs' Guide, 91 Points 

"59% Pinot Noir; 41% Chardonnay. If by no means lacking in the yeasty richness of defined champenization, the current Cuvée de la Pompadour takes its lead from exuberant, fresh cherry fruit and shows off its solid Rosé credentials with a fine sense of vinosity and a bit of extra palatal weight. It is rich, full and foamy with a decidedly creamy, very long-lasting mousse, and its ample flavors are free of evident sweetness. It will work famously with food owing to the slight finishing grip expected of its genre, but it is never outwardly astringent and is thoroughly enjoyable on its own."
