"A robust yet elegant and flavoursome blend of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier with citrus, delicate and savoury brioche, yeast autolysis characters supported by mouth-watering acidity. An attractive Champagne offering good value at this price" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review, Aug 2019

"Opulent and gratifying, this is a fabulous rendition of richer style Champagne displaying citrus, baked apple, acacia and yeasty characters on the nose. The palate is powerful and graceful, and delivers layers of attractive flavours and silky texture, brilliantly supported by crisp acidity. The length is terrific" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

"A gentle richness and power with a bouquet of pear and lees autolysis, apple and peach. Medium+ complexity and baked goods suggesting croissant and some brioche. Lovely weight and richness on the palate with fine to moderate mousse, softness and elegance. White fleshed fruit flavours mirror the bouquet with a fine lees quality. Balanced and well made with medium+ length" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Mar 2024

"This fresh, lively grower Champagne is new to the New Zealand market and is affordable enough for a spur of the moment bottle at the end of a busy week. Lemony, bready aromatic, soft red fruits to taste and a crisp, fine, long finish. Excellent value" Paul Tudor, Master of Wine
