Vinous 92 pts! The NV Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Prestige is based 51% on the 2020 vintage, 33% on 2018, with the rest from a perpetual reserve containing vintages 2009 through 2019 from three grands crus: Cramant, Chouilly and Le Mesnil sur Oger. It spent three years on lees and opens with a bright, appetizing note of Golden Delicious flesh bathed in lemon. The slender palate pitches itself against a lovely background of dried corn husk and subtle creaminess, supported by tiny fine bubbles that disperse the luminous lemon freshness. This is lovely now, but every month of bottle age will make it creamier. Dosage is 4 grams per liter."
