Wine & Spirits 95 points - This is a sunny and delicious 2008, with brightness infusing the wine, from its platinum color to its mineral intensity, transforming its richness and power into cool elegance. Notes of agave and cassia bark add depth, suggesting the complexity this will develop with further bottle age..December/2018
Wine Advocate 93 points - Exhibiting aromas of pear, toasted brad, confit citrus and smoke, the 2008 Brut La Grande Dame is full-bodied, rich and textural, with a deep and layered core, ripe but racy acids and a saline finish. A blend dominated by fully 92% Pinot Noir, this is true to the cuvee’s rich and muscular style, but the vintage lends it welcome additional cut and precision. It’s showing a lot better than the bottles I tasted in the United States last year..April/2020
