Vinous - Score: 90 (2015 January)

(60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay; 8 g/l dosage ; L1234411212): Light gold. Lees-accented orchard and citrus fruit aromas are complicated by sweet butter, iodine and smoky minerals. Dry and expansive on the palate, offering lively pear and melon flavors and a refreshingly bitter touch of orange pith. Ample but lithe brut , with very good finishing punch and repeating smoke and pear qualities.
