Aromas of crushed chalk, peaches and minerals with hints of crushed stone follow through to a full body with layers of fruit, fine phenolics and fresh acidity. Polished and creamy texture. 35% pinot meunier, 30% chardonnay and 35% pinot noir. Dosage 3g/L. Disgorged in April 2022. Drink now.

Bright and elegant, this well-knit, aperitif-style Champagne offers lively acidity and a fine bead, with floral overtones and a focused palate of poached pear, chalk, candied kumquat and passion fruit. Disgorged January 2014. Drink now through 2020. — A.N.

This is a relatively discreet wine with an almost reticent nose but one that is wonderfully elegant and pure with citrus and pear aromas that merge into intense delicious and complex flavors that possess fine depth and excellent length. I very much like the balance and the underlying sense of restraint. A wine that could be enjoyed now or cellared for up to a decade.

Based on 2011 and one-third of 2010 reserve wine, Geoffroy’s NV Expression Brut Premier Cru – 50% Meunier, 40% Pinot Noir and 10% Chardonnay – opens very clear and fresh on the nose, displaying white fruits along with flavors of nougat, brioche and a hint of smoke. This is a light and fruity, very finesse-full cuvée with a dancing freshness and a nice grip in the finish. Disgorged in February 2015 with eight grams of dosage. Highly recommended. - Stephan Reinhardt
