VINOUS 92 POINTS - "The 2021 Extra Brut Les Massales Grand Cru is super impressive. Bright, bold, and punchy, the 2021 impresses with its complexity and textural balance. The purity of the fruit is just remarkable. Dried citrus peel, mint, chamomile and white flowers all grace this wonderfully nuanced Champagne. Best of all, the Les Massales should be a terrific value."
