Professionele reviews

Robert Parker (97)

Another bottling with immense potential is the 2014 Blanc de Blancs La Haute Lemblé, a stunning young wine that unfurls in the glass with scents of crisp green apples, warm bread, citrus oil, fresh peach and cut flowers. On the palate, it's full-bodied, satiny and incisive, with even more depth and concentration than the 2008 that I tasted alongside it, combining imposing mid-palate volume with an ineffable sense of completeness in a rare mélange more often realized by the great still wines of the Côte d'Or than the wines of Champagne. The finish is long and chalky. This 2014 is more textural than the 2008, too, and I suspect that it will be even more thrilling—if perhaps not quite as incisive—at age ten, though it can also be drunk with pleasure today.

Very firm and confident and well built. Nice slightly astringent kick on the finish. This wine will surely go on and on.
