Decanter, 95 Points 

"ME: Lovely classy green-gold colour shouts Chardonnay. Minerals, chalk, a hint of spices, and fine, fine tension in the mouth. Moreish and complete, a fine long wine. SF: Lively and energetic. The palate is spicy and firm with a soft white pepper backdrop. An accessible and ripe style, fresh and poised at the same time. TH: Slightly closed nose with grapefruit. Pretty high-pitched lemon pith notes coming through. It's a little uncompromising and hard for general champagne drinkers maybe, but this is a winner for those who like it honed, dry and persistent."

"“Dazzles with precision, cut and a sense of translucence that is hard to capture with words. Chalk and limestone soils give the Longitude layers of nuance and detail that are a wonder to discover. In the glass, the Longitude is not especially obvious, rather it is a Champagne of subtlety, precision and total class. Lemon peel, herbs, mint and dried flowers are some of the many notes that grace this utterly exquisite Blanc de Blancs." 

Wine Spectator, 90 Points 

"An exuberant version, with a fine, creamy bead, this offers flavors of pineapple, mango puree, floral and poached apricot notes, backed by juicy, balancing acidity and hints of honey, candied ginger, spice and herbs."
