Wine&Spirits om: Champagne Cuvee de Reserve Blanc de Blancs Brut

Mostly from Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, all grown on chalk, this wine seems to layer that chalk’s seabed heritage into beautiful richness, as it combines different parcels aged in stainless steel, oak barrels or concrete. This offers a soft impression of fruit from ancient fossilized soil, one that made me smile at the glory of Champagne. 96/100

Decanter om: Champagne Cuvee de Reserve Blanc de Blancs Brut

Made up, half and half, of base wine from the sunny 2018 harvest, and reserve wine from Rodolphe’s Perpetual Reserve which goes back to 1988, this is one of the most consistently excellent NV wines on the market. Its current iteration is especially impressive, floral, chalky, upstanding, and very complex; the palate sharing notes of dried apricot, plum and lemon pith with more developed intimations of sour honey and patisserie. An exemplary wine with real purity and precision on the finish. 93/100

Suckling om: Champagne Cuvee de Reserve Blanc de Blancs Brut

A creamy and round blanc de blancs with cooked apples and lemons, as well as some bread dough. It’s full and layered with a lovely texture. It’s all about the velvety, integrated mouthfeel. 36 months on the less. Disgorged December 2023. 4.7g/L dosage. Drink now.

Galloni om: Champagne Cuvee de Reserve Blanc de Blancs Brut

The NV Brut Cuvée de Réserve is striking. It shows fabulous cut and definition in its fruit, expressive aromatics all backed up by plenty of underlying structure. A bright, mineral laced finish rounds things out in style. This is superb entry-level wine from one of Champagne's top producers. The Cuvée Réserve is 100% Chardonnay. This year's release is based on 2008 (60%), with reserve wines going back to 1988, precisely 1988, 1990, 1993 and 1995-2007 (except 1999 and 2003). Dosage is 6.7 grams. 92/100

Parker om: Champagne Cuvee de Reserve Blanc de Blancs Brut

Based on the 2019 vintage (which Péters declares "the best of the decade") and disgorged this year, the NV Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Cuvée de Réserve bursts with aromas of crisp stone fruit, orange zest, freshly baked bread and beeswax. Medium-bodied, ample and pillowy, with a fleshy core of fruit, racy acids and a saline finish, it's animated by an attractive pinpoint mousse. 92/100
