92 points, Wine Spectator. "A harmonious version, with a fine, raw silk–like texture, this is lightly mouthwatering and very appealing. Offers a fragrant overtone of apple blossoms, anise and ginger, with flavors of nectarine, blood orange granita and salted Marcona almond. Minerally finish. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Disgorged October 2023. Drink now. 750 cases imported."

90 points, Jeb Dunnuck. "The pale straw-colored NV Champagne Cuvée de Reserve Brut is an 80/20 blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay with 40% from the 2021 vintage, 30% from 2020, and the rest reserve wines. It's expressive and open in the glass, with forward notes of perfume, lilac, red berries, river rock, and tangerine. Medium-bodied, it has a good deal of intensity upfront but has refinement and a clean, chalky texture, with a lively, pillowing mousse. It is clean through the finish and is going to show well over the next few years. 7 grams per liter dosage."
