Extended cellar aging reveals remarkable finesse, layered complexity, vibrant freshness, and an elegant, persistent finish with exceptional aging potential.

95 Points - James Suckling

Very flinty, with straw and dried goat's-cheese character to the dried apples, honeycomb and some bread dough. Medium to full body with a dense center-palate and creamy texture. Dried lemon and orange peel notes, together with spice, dust and ginger. Structured and phenolic. Drink or hold.

93 Points - Decanter

Palmes d'Or 2008 shows a redolent and complex bouquet of citrus, white fruits, orange peel and a touch of smoke. It has a vinous and round texture, with some pastry aromas and a minty overtone on the finish.

93 Points - Wine Spectator

Pretty floral and spice notes on the nose lead to ripe golden apple, slivered almond, star fruit and fleur de sel flavors on the palate of this creamy and harmonious Champagne. Offers a fresh, mineral-laced finish.
