While certainly mature after 22 years, the Champagne is by no means old. That means it has hints of white fruits alongside the toastiness of the wine, keeping freshness in the background. It is ripe, soft at the end. Drink now. Score - 92. (Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast, Dec. 1, 2022)

A strong bottling of this well-priced champagne (Lot# 61K-1401G - check the back label), Gardet's latest cuvée Saint Flavy is a properly toasty and autolytic example, but also vibrant, crisp and fresh and particularly dry. I like the balance on the palate, the succulent acids, and the impressive depth of flavour. You won't find much better than this from champagne at this price to be sure. Tasted March 2022. Score - 91. (John Szabo, MS, winealign.com)

(Translated from the French) Seductive and flavourful both in aromas and flavours. Fruity notes dominate, with hints of jammy red fruit that seem light thanks to the fine bubbles. A moderate sweetness entices, with accents of red currant jelly, but the Champagne remains straightforward and vivacious. Balanced. Score - 94. (Terre de Vins, Dec. 2023)
