93 Points | International Wine Cellar , November/December 2010

($55; made from 85% grand cru chardonnay and 15% premier cru pinot noir) Bright orange-tinged pink. Racy, mineral-accented aromas of pomegranate, strawberry and blood orange, plus a suave note of toasty lees. Bitter rhubarb and berry skin flavors give way to softer raspberry in the mid-palate, with tangy minerality adding spine and lift. Packs a punch but this dry, impressively precise Champagne is light on its feet. Finishes with excellent clarity and stony persistence. The dosage here is a relatively low 5 g/l.
