Bright yellow with a strong bead. Sexy, strongly perfumed bouquet displays melon, white peach and strawberry, along with a sexy floral overtone. Sweet pear, strawberry and raspberry flavors are refreshingly juicy, with slow-building spices adding interest. Tightened up with air, but finishes with excellent clarity and a silky texture. - Stephen Tanzer 91 Points
The NV Brut Grand Cru Tradition is a very pretty wine that is surprisingly accessible and round for a Champagne from Ambonnay. The wine shows lovely harmony and fragrance in a medium-bodied style, with a long finish and excellent balance. The NV Brut Grand Cru Tradition is 70% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay, with full malolactic fermentation and 6 grams of dosage. Disgorged: early July, 2009. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2012 - Robert Parker 88 Points
