jebdunnuck.com, 93 points: Bollinger’s NV Special Cuvée knocks it out of the park. Made from 60% Pinot Noir, 25% Chardonnay and the rest Pinot Meunier, with 30% of the blend brought up in barrels, it boasts a rich, deep, medium to full-bodied style...

jamessuckling.com, 93 points: Some light toffee and lemon blossom aromas make for an attractive nose, with plenty of lemon citrus, white peach and grilled hazelnuts, too. The palate has a clean, dry and finely detailed texture. Lemon peel and fresh...

Wine Enthusiast, 92 points: Based in the Chardonnay region of the Côte des Blancs, it's no surprise that this producer has a dominance of that grape in its blend. The wine has great minerality as well as tight acidity and delicious citrus flavors...

jamessuckling.com, 92 points: One of the great, all-round NV offerings in a classically styled, soft and silky package. Berries, biscuits and smooth, vinous texture in the mouth. Really easygoing with all-round appeal. Drink now.

jamessuckling.com, 92 points: Just the right amount of reduction here, holding lemon, white peach, wild cherries and more savory notes of spice and grilled nuts really fresh. The palate delivers punchy impact with impressive build and a nicely honed...

Wine Spectator, 91 points: Hints of smoke and spice underscore flavors of poached pear and white raspberry in this delicate, aperitif-style Champagne, with a lacy mousse. Crisp and lightly citrusy. Drink now through 2021.

View From The Cellar, 97 points: The 2004 Krug remains one of the most beautiful young vintages of this bottling to be released in quite some time. It does not have the power and sternness of structure of the titan that is the 2002, nor the shimmering...

jamessuckling.com, 92 points: Essentially brut reserve with more time in the cellar and no dosage, this is based on 2012. There's a slight reductive edge, with some apple, honey and lemon as well as subtly spicy elements, red apple and berry aromas...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 92 points: The Gosset NV Grand Rosé Brut has an intense salmon-pink color and opens with a very delicate and fresh bouquet of red berries intertwined with refreshing lemon and grapefruit, perhaps even kiwi notes. Pure, fresh and...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 90 points: The Laurent-Perrier NV Brut is a blend of 50% Chardonnay, 35% Pinot Noir and 15% Meunier, and is based on 2009 plus 15-30% reserve wines from two or three vintages. Citrus colored, this signature LP has a refined, fresh...

jamessuckling.com, 90 points: 60% from 2014, with a balance of reserve wine. This has a fresh strawberry, raspberry and ripe peach nose. Very primary. The palate has an extremely crisp and lively feel and straight-shooting style. Drink now. - Nick Stock

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: Made exclusively from Chardonnay from Avize (51%), Mesnil-sur-Oger (44%) and Villers-Marmery (5%), the 2007 Amour de Deutz Brut offers a clear, precise and yeasty bouquet with potted ginger, brioche and bread flavors on a...

jamessuckling.com, 97 points: This is a DP that shows the ripeness of the 2009 vintage yet remains full of energy. Gorgeous aromas of cream, apple, mango, honeysuckle, and chalk follow through to a full body and super fine, tight texture. Dense and...

jamessuckling.com, 92 points: Some slight reduction here, this has a lemon biscuit edge and attractive toasty autolysis influence. The palate is more about stone fruits with some mellow spicy flavors building to citrus through the finish. Drink now. ...
