Parker:
"The 2018 Grande Cuvée Dosage Zéro blends 56% Pinot Noir, 22% Pinot Blanc and 22% Pinot Meunier but no Chardonnay because it became too ripe in the heat of the vintage. Vinified in oak barrels (50%), bottled in July 2019 and disgorged after 47 months sur lattes in June this year, this is a pure, fresh and delicate yet also intense and vinous sparkling wine with lovely maturation and brioche notes. With pencil tip and refreshing bright fruit aromas on the first palate, this is a lean and fresh, quite pure and bone dry, stimulatingly saline cuvée that still needs a year or so to calm down and refine. The finish is still a bit too dry for my personal taste, and the astringency gives a too ascetic Sekt, but this might be a question of time. 11.8% alcohol. No dosage and no added sulfur. Natural cork. Tasted in November 2023." 92+ Punkte
