17/20 (92/100) Аромат спелого красного яблока, сливы, мякоти груши, бананов, персиков и клубники. Довольно тельное с меловой текстурой и высокой кислотностью. Отличный баланс, насыщенный, но не вульгарный вкус. Отличное rosé! — 7 years ago

At £120 I’ve always thought this is an overpriced NV/MV champagne but that said it’s still a lovely drop if you like it mineral bone dry 😉 I’m more of a Krug or Henri Giraud fan for MV @ this price range 👍

This was unbelievable! My wife and I were simply stunned at the beautifully nuanced Pinot Noir grapes. Easily one of my favorite champagnes in a long time (MV09) — 9 years ago

The Argonne oak really gives it such an amazing complexity, beautiful intensity, if I had to find a similarity it would be reminiscent of Corton-Charlemagne, but there's something so unique about this, really quite interesting. — 8 years ago
