"Light, aromatic, floral Champagne, with subtle bread and brioche characters. Attractive wine with an ethereal texture and a fine thread of mouth-watering acidity. An appealing Champagne offering value at this price" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review, Nov 2019

"This Champagne offers an array of flavours, including toasted brioche, gala apple and lemon zest with a touch of honey. Elegant, but with good intensity and a moderate, nut-tinged finish. This is an immensely seductive Champagne filled with delicious flavours. It is beautifully expressed on the nose showing white stone fruit, lemon peel, floral and yeasty characters with nuances of brioche and mushroom. The palate is concentrated and generously flavoured, delivering fine texture and sensual mouthfeel, brilliantly framed by bright acidity" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

"Great colour and bead, intensity and complexity all point to a classic Champagne experience.  Aromas of grapefruit and peach wrapped a toasted brioche autolysis, layers of nut and spice from bottle-age. A dry wine touches the palate with a flourish of mousse, fine bubble and acidity. Flavours of apple and grapefruit, peach and time on lees showcase a crisp, saline palate with moderate+ intensity and complexity. A lovely wine ready to enjoy from day of purchase. Best enjoyed as an aperitif or with slightly salty starters such as breaded oysters of charcuterie. Fabulous value. We used to serve this Champagne by the glass at Vinnies Restaurant in Auckland  - that was back in the mid 1990s. Nice to see and taste the quality is still very good" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Mar 2024

"Awesome champagne imported by Master of Wine Stephen Bennett. This bubbly has rich, dry, toasty flavours, is made mostly from Pinot Noir, as its yeasty flavours show" Joelle Thomson

"When we think about top-notch bubbly, the big names of Champagne, the so-called “grand marques”, often come to mind first. But this fresh, fine, concentrated Champagne from a very small producer is right up in that league. On the side of fuller, red-fruit style (dominated with pinot noir and pinot meunier), but crisp and lively to boot. At this sharp price, Cazanove is now an occasional guilty pleasure in my household" Paul Tudor, Master of Wine
