Critics Ratings
‘Pretty, herbal citrus nose and a hint of apricot, Really zesty and tastes relatively dry. Elegant, precise, fine mousse and really long.’ - Julia Harding MW, JancisRobinson.com, 16.5/20 (Jun 2017)
‘Lacy in texture, this leesy version offers notes of pastry cream, bread dough, oyster shell and poached apricot, layered with sleek acidity and a chalky underpinning. A rich but balanced style. Disgorged July 2018. Drink now through 2022.' - Alison Napjus, Wine Spectator, 92/100 (Dec 2019)
‘Chiquet's NV Brut Tradition is drop-dead gorgeous. Apple, green pear, sweet spices, mint and anise lift out of the glass in this perfumed, strikingly beautiful Champagne. Clean, focused and perfumed, the Tradition is absolutely fabulous, not to mention one of the very best Champagnes in its price range readers will come across. The Brut Tradition is 40% Pinot Meunier, 35% Chardonnay and 25% Pinot Noir, based on 2009 plus dollops of 2008 and 2007, all done in steel. This bottle was disgorged in February 2013. Dosage was 8 grams per liter.’ - Antonio Galloni, Vinous, 91/100 (Nov 2013)
