Essi Avellan MW

“Medium-deep lemon colour. Stylish, toasty and leesy nose. Lovely gunpowdery touch. Rather sweet palate but still in balance. Long, linear, succulent, finely focused palate. Super-stylish. This champagne has improved tremendously over the last years. Now it can sometimes challenge even Charles Heidsieck Brut Réserve. Outstanding in magnum.”

16.5/20

Richard Hemming MW

“Full, ripe flavours on the palate - more fruit definition than many non-vintage champagnes. Good length too, with proper autolytic character. (RH)”
