95 Point Rated Huon Hooke The Real Review 

Light straw-yellow hue, with a most appetising aroma of citrus fruits and small flowers, obviously very chardonnay-driven and could easily be taken for a blanc de blancs. Very fine, crisp and lively on the tongue, with a refreshing dry balance. Outstanding freshness. Excellent wine. (80:20 chardonnay:pinot noir. Minimum 2 years on lees in bottle. Disgorged December 2019. Other details as for the previous bottle tasted)

94 Point Rated Halliday Wine Companion

A blend of 80% chardonnay and 20% pinot noir. 40% reserve wines from 2010-2012 matured in French foudres and in bottle (on lees) for at least two and a half years, this disgorged October 2018. It is fine and intense, and has tremendous drive and length to its citrus and apple flavours. Exceptional value.

92 Point Rated - Tyson Stelzer - The Champagne Guide

This is a cuvée that reaches deep into the mineral hillside of Le Mont Ferré in its elegance and mouth-embracing chalk mineral completeness, thanks to the privileged position of this plot on the border of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. Fourny's mandate of purity and precision shimmers in a pale straw hue and spicy wild lemon, tangy grapefruit and crunchy apple of soap-powder brightness. There are nuances of fennel and star fruit along the way; true to the expressive, exotic personality of Vertus, lending a little more body and depth in the ripe 2015 season. This vintage possesses some of the dry-extract grip and green capsicum characters of mature phenolics that also marked the 2005 season, appearing subtly on the finish. A little oak vinification coaxes out understated nuances of ginger, biscuits, nougat, even fig, coffee and chocolate, without disturbing purity or drive. A characterful take on the identity of Vertus, and as persistent, reliable and affordable as ever.

4.5 stars - Tony Love - Herald Sun

You can pay a week's wage for high-end Champagne or search out lesser branded yet equally exciting artisan-produced wine like this, imported by De Bortoli. Three consecutive vintages at its core, 20% older reserve wines to add complexity. 30 months on yeast lees tick all the boxes for excellent Chardonnay fruit expression, purity of flavours, and balanced and energetic acidity.
