"A deep, complex wine, the fruit integrated into the mineral-laden style. Essential oils of lemon with zest, green apples and stone fruit. Chalky with orange-blossom flavors, racy acidity and an austere palate. Light-bodied yet precise in the finish. Drink or hold."

"Crisp, green apple acidity enlivens this creamy Champagne, which layers crunchy pear, white cherry and persimmon fruit, salted Marcona almond, floral and mineral notes in a snappy, aperitif-style frame. Disgorged January 2024. 500 cases imported. - AN"

"With 80% coming from the 2019 vintage, mostly from Le Mesnil Sur Oger and 10% coming from Avize and Oger, the medium straw-colored NV Champagne Grand Cru Conversation Brut opens to zesty aromas of lime, crisp flowers, and fresh apples. It™s bright and pointed on the palate, with a lively mousse, well-defined acidity, and a clean finish. This is a strong entry wine with a lot of brightness and definition to enjoy over the next 6-7 years. 5 grams per liter dosage."

"The NV Brut Blanc de Blancs Conversation Grand Cru shows a bright focus with citrus peel, dried herbs and crushed flowers. This is a savory, mineral style of Blanc de Blancs endowed with considerable tension and energy. This is nicely done"very pretty and open-knit for this style. Creamy, exotic and perfumed, this wine is sourced from Grand Cru sites in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Oger and Avize. Dosage is 5 grams per liter. Disgorged: September 29, 2022."
