pure,
uncompromising Champagne with strong soil character.
1998: 93 pts - A
mouthfilling, suave wine with compelling inner-mouth perfume
and aromatic lift.

vibrant and long.
Wines & Spirits December 2006: 92 pts (1999 vintage)
Wine's waxy texture melds apple skin with chalk in a youthful, severe
structure. This earthiness gives this a tannic feel, nedding age to develop
its baroque flavor.
