"Dry with delicious sliced-apple and chalk aromas and flavors with crushed-stone undertones. It's medium-bodied with a focused palate and a crisp, delicious finish. Nicely done. Drink now."

"A bright yellow hue, the NV Champagne 1er Cru Expression Brut is from the 2020 vintage but includes perpetual reserve wines going back to 1970. The nose displays notes of nectarine, golden apples, hay, and a hint of nuttiness or bread. Medium-bodied, with good balance on the palate, it's quite harmonious and very tasty all around, with a fluffy mousse, notes of orange citrus, and a clean, savory finish. It's quite approachable and will drink well now or over the coming 5-7 years. 5 grams per liter dosage."

"A fresh and floral Champagne, with a lacy mousse and a lively mix of cherry, blood orange peel, toast point and candied ginger, underscored by minerally chalk and oyster shell notes. Pinot Meunier, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Disgorged January 2023. Drink now. 750 cases imported."

"Based on the 2020 vintage vinified in enameled vats, Geoffroy's NV Extra Brut Expression is complemented by a 50% perpetual reserve component stored in concrete. Sourced from a mosaic of parcels across Cumieres and Hautvillers, it is a blend of 45% Pinot Noir, 35% Pinot Meunier and 20% Chardonnay. The wine bursts from the glass with vibrant aromas of green apple and quince interwoven with notes of gooseberry. On the palate, it is medium-bodied, bright and linear, marked by piercing acidity and a persistent, lemon-inflected finish, leaving a lingering impression. This cuvee was disgorged in September 2024 with a dosage of 3.5 grams per liter."
