"The NV Brut Grand Cru is 100% Chardonnay from Avize, Oger and Cramant. Bright and sizzling in the glass, the Grand Cru captures the essence of the Cotes des Blancs in its chiseled personality. Citrus, floral, slate, and mineral notes lend vibrancy throughout. The 10 grams of dosage are not at all evident. Impressive."
Wine Spectator, 91 Points
"Offers appealing floral and spice notes that waft through juicy yellow peach and white cherry fruit, pickled ginger and mineral notes carried on a refined mousse. Reveals hints of salted almond and candied orange peel on the finish. Chardonnay."
Jeb Dunnuck, 90 Points
"The NV Champagne Grand Cru Brut is perfumed and forward with ripe orchard fruit, wild tarragon, quinine, and tangerine. The palate is equally assertive and expansive, with juicy yellow orchard fruit, ripe tangerine, a dense core, and chalky earth. Drink 2022-2032."
Wine Enthusiast, 90 Points
"This crisp, fruity wine is made exclusively from Chardonnay in Varnier Fannière's Côte des Blancs vineyards. It has a citrus flavor, with touches of green plum and quince, and a tight, mineral character. Ideally, this should be aged for a year, but it is drinkable now."
Alcohol: 12%
