The cuvée “1522 1er cru rosé” vintage 2012 in the press:
Vinous (Antonio Galloni-November 2022): 92/100 "The 2012 Extra-Brut Rosé Cuvée 1522 is done in a perfumed, gracious style that is more about aromatics and ethereal nuance. Crushed red berry fruit, mint chalk and white pepper are some of the nuances that grace this delicate, understated Rosé. This is a decidedly light style, especially for the year."

The “Royale Réserve non dosé” cuvée in the press:
La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2025): 92/100 Coup de ♥ “As a brut, Royale Réserve has this greediness, while remaining stretched and salivating. A very high-flying introduction that demonstrates all the work done by the house. We also salute, in an inflationary context, a pricing policy that remains very reasonable.”
Vinous (A. Galloni - March 2024): 90/100 “The NV Royale Réserve Non Dosé is terrific. Bit offers a fine interplay of citrus and floral notes, but with a bit more poise and better balance than the straight Réserve. I especially admire its energy and persistence. This is a tasty non-dosé Champagne that hits all the right notes in style."

The “Blanc de noirs”2016 vintage in the press:
La Revue du Vin de France (December 2022): 94/100 “This 2016 wonderfully illustrates the vinosity and refinement that pinot noir can take on. A character playing between subtle oxidation and fruit brightness. The irresistibly creamy bubbles take it to a depth full of flavor.”

The “Blanc de noirs”2018 vintage in the press:
La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2025): 92/100 “The extra-brut blanc de noirs, on a 2018 base, shows itself well-balanced, with the comfortable texture of this warm year, a lovely acidulous aroma and a palate that remains slender.”
Vinous (A. Galloni - March 2024): 91/100 “The 2018 Extra-Brut Blanc de Noirs is an understated wine, as so many Champagnes are in 2018. This is an especially brisk, floral style of Blanc de Noirs, the result of a choice of villages (Avenay-Val-d'Or, Mareuil, Mailly, Vertus? Ecueil), The decision to partially block the malolactic fermentation and dosage that is on the low side. Grapefruit, white flowers, mint, chalk and dried herbs are all finelly cut."

The Cuvée ‘1522 Extra-Brut’ vintage 2016 in the press :
Vinous (Antonio Galloni - March 2023): 91/100 "The 2016 Extra-Brut Cuvée 1522 is a very pretty wine, especially for the vintage. Spice, dried pear, mint and chamomile are some of the notes that grace the 2016. There's lovely aromatic presence and enough mid-palate pliancy to make for highly enjoyable drinking for at least the nest handful of years. The 1522 is built on a core from Aÿ (Le Leon), plus fruit grom Verzy and Mesnil."

Cuvée "Clos des Goisses 2014" in the reviews :
La Revue du Vin de France (Décember 2024) : 95/100 « The blend of Pinot Noir (71%) and Chardonnay from this legendary clos offers a concentration of flavours and exceptional vinosity in 2014, all enhanced by a fine patina of wood. »Vinous (A. Galloni - March 2024): 93/100 “The 2014 Extra-Brut Clos des Goisses is aromatic, soft-spoken and quiet in demeanor. this is an especially floral, delicate Goisses with lovely floral top notes and decidedly mid-weight structure. The 2014 remains noticeably fresh and vibrant, but I just it a bit light on the mid-palate. Dosage is 4.25 grams per liter."
