Wine Advocate

The NV Expression Brut Premier Cru I tasted was an assemblage of two vintages, 2009 and 2010, and 50% Meunier, 40% Pinot Noir and 10% Chardonnay. The pale colored Champagne was disgorged in January 2014 with a dosage of five grams per liter and opens with a very bright and delicate bouquet of fruits (prunes, cherries, raspberries, white fruits) and floral aromas. Straight, lovely, pure and filigreed, yet firm and persistent, this is a very fine, elegant and well-balanced Champagne character of excellent quality. Drink this light yet complex fizz as an ambitious aperitif or with lighter dishes.

Wine Spectator

Clean-cut and lacy in texture, this mixes a baseline of chalky mineral with juicy white cherry, salted Marcona almond, honeysuckle and grated ginger notes.

Lots of apple and brioche aromas and flavors. Full body. Creamy and layered. Very fruity and crafted. Decadent and flavorful in the end. Drink now
