Reviewed July 2023Fantastic aroma of Mara des Bois strawberries. Very juicy with an explosion of strawberries and ripe nectarines. Stunning vitality due to the bright and fine mousse plus the lively acidity. Long and elegant finish that pulls you back for more. A cuvee of 60% pinot noir from Cumieres and 40% chardonnay from Chouilly. 8 g/l dosage. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold. (SP)

Decanter
A nose full of rose petals with orange skin and berry fruits, not as expressive as some of the other Champagnes in the masterclass but this has a lovely soft, and delicate aromatic profile. Tangy lemon, raspberry, strawberry and orange on the palate with a sea spray, saline finish that is particularly moreish. Fully flavoured, round and complete with mouthwatering acidity, lots of sapidity and an extremely long finish. A lovely combination of both bitter and sour elements giving such complexity and nuance on the palate. (GH)

Finely mature, this bottling is just right. Its fruit has softened and a touch of toastiness has come through to give great balance. The Champagne is totally ready to drink. (RV)

The Wine Independent
With much of the Pinot Noir coming from a warm microclimate in Cumières and Chardonnay from Chouilly, the Rosé 2016 is an ‘infused’ rose achieving its pale salmon pink hue from a gentle six to eight-day cold soak of the Pinot Noir (62%) before vinifying it together with 38% of Chardonnay in stainless steel, with a 21% portion done in oak barrel. Finished with an eight gram per liter dosage, this 2016 unwinds with perceptible ease to show ripe red berry, pomegranate and kumquat aromas that give way to a medium to full-bodied, plush and lemony palate with shimmering acidity and a faint tannic bitter note on the finish.
