David Schildknecht (Wine Advocate): "...finished with 5 grams of residual sugar, although Tissot does custom disgorgement and dosage for some of his U.S. clients -- displays a complex nose of toasted grains, yeast, Normandy apple cider, quince, smoky bacon, and lemon zest. With its residual sugar well-judged to support the richness of orchard fruits and nut oils on the palate, its persistent lemon, chalk, and salt notes help provide counterpoint. Stephane Tissot’s sparking cuvees of Chardonnay and Pinot remain among the finest traditional method sparklers for the money grown anywhere in the world."

Wine Enthusiast: "Made mainly from Chardonnay, this poised sparkling wine is deliciously crisp, packed with flavors of red apples and aromas of hedgerow flowers."

Wine Spectator: "Apple and beeswax aromas and flavors mingle with the bright acidity and rich mousse in this appealing crémant. Good length. Drink now."
