Rated 91/100 by Antonio Galloni (Vinous) « Ample and creamy, the 2012 is super-expressive today, with plenty of apricot, brioche, baked apple tart and toasty character. An initial burst of exuberance gives way to greater refinement over time. This is very nicely done. » (Nov. 2020)

Rated 94/100 by Antonio Galloni (Vinous) « The 2009 Brut Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill is a heady, explosive Champagne. [...] I would give the 2009 at least a year or two in bottle, as it is a bit tight at this stage. Even so, time in the glass brings out a feeling of raw power that is impossible to miss. » (Nov. 2020)
Rated 98/100 by the Revue du Vin de France « La vinosité solaire du millésime sied à merveille au style raffiné et réconfortant de cette belle cuvée. Un champagne dominé par le pinot noir tissé en dentelle. Encore jeune, il offrira une plus belle harmonie d'ici trois à quatre ans. » (Dec. 2020)
