Jancis Robinson 18/20 Points!
Greenish. Very rich and dense with lots of acidity. Very, very fresh. Creamy but not sweet. Very complete and long.
JancisRobinson.com, August 2009
"Bright, focused acidity drives lightly smoked flavors of candied currant and blackberry and patisserie apple, with hints of ground espresso, cumin and crystallized honey. A mineral note threads through the refined texture and lingers on the rich finish. Drink now through 2025."
Wine Spectator, December 2011

"New disgorgement, same mind-boggling wine. Beside Krug Clos du Mesnil and Billecart Clos Saint Hilaire, no champagne I have tasted in my thirty-three visits and hundreds of wines this trip has carried the untiring persistence of Nicolas Francois, nor its tremendous presence of mouth-consuming minerality. The legendary Billecart Grande Cuvee is sadly no more after 1998. Guess where its fruit has been redirected?"
