October 23, 2020 - Beautiful nose of toasted hazelnuts, seared apricots and canned peaches. Bone dry and nutty on the palate. Tinge of iodine as well as toasted brioche with a slather of peach/apricot jam (without any of the sweetness). Fantastic texture and still quite youthful. 92

May 26, 2019 - A wow sparkler. Competes with any grower champagne. Nose is full of leesy/brioche aromas. Mature fruits … marmalade, dried peaches/apricots, orange peel, orange peel oils. Wow.
Medium bodied, great structure, full mousse, bone dry. Acidity is still present … singeing at first but calms down with air time. Tastes include dried apricots and peaches, and the bitterness of orange peel on the end. I could have aged this longer. A fantastic sparkling wine for the money. -

April 1, 2018 - What a fantastic nose! Just loaded with toasted brioche slathered with apricot marmalade and orange peel essential oils. Medium-full bodied and rich for a brut nature, this is as delicious as it smells. Despite the lack of dosage, the palate tastes sweet and is loaded with fresh peaches and apricots. This tastes as if it is still a baby at nearly 12 years old. combines the easy-going (moderate acidity) character of Cava with the complexity of the best grower Champagnes. Drink now-2020+ 93

January 6, 2018 - Oeil verdatre et peu de bulle
Nez peu expressif de pomme poires, noix, miel, et fleur en bouquet
Belle Attaque sur la pomme et les noix. La bulle est fine et peu présente
Toucher pâte d’amande, l’ensemble est frais et le coté brut nature nous retire toute traçes de salive. L’ensemble est plutôt expressif bien que la matière donne une impression de légèreté
En finale, de la pomme, des noix, des fleurs forment un délicieux amalgame qui perdure de longue secondes
Un beau cava nature qui fais changement des champagne, j’aime beaucoup! -

December 10, 2017 - Beau Cava sur des notes d'amande et de brioche. Belle bulle pas trop agressante, Une certaine amertume est présente en finale. un produit bien agréable et aromatique sans être des plus complexe. Parfait en apéro. Cependant, un peu cher pour la complexité de ce Cava.
