91 pts. Tasting Panel Smooth with generous fruit and fine bubbles: fresh, juicy, and clean with a tangy style; a delightful wine and an amazing value.

producer notes - When champagne is too much & beer not enough, like today. Lakewood’s Candeo is lightly fruity, on the verge of dry. Edgy. Scintillating. Fun! Serve chilled.

Wine Enthusiast 95 Points "The iconic Belle Epoque bottle reveals a well-structured, taut wine. With Chardonnay very much in evidence in the mineral texture, the wine is almost as floral as the bottle. Drink from 2021."

93 points - Vinous The NV (2017) Brut Blanc de Blancs Delos Grand The NV (2017) Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Delos Grand Cru is fabulous. Bright and full of energy, the Extra Brut sizzles with tension.

Disgorged:...

Wilifred Wong - 93 pts. The Roederer Estate Brut has always garnered a special place amongst the folks in the wine trade.

Medium straw color, refined beads; excellent aroma of ripe apples and light creaminess, maybe even a hint of...
