Over eight years of reviewing different bottlings of this non-vintage Champagne, International Wine Cellar never gave it a score below 90. TASTING NOTE: Crisp and floral, this is lightly chalky in texture, showing purity to the flavors of Fuji apple, ripe green pear, candied ginger, with a subtly smoky mineral layer. Light-bodied, offering good intensity. Disgorged May 2011. Drink now through 2018. Score: 91 (Alison Napjus, winespectator.com, Dec. 31, 2011)
