Richard Juhlin - 4000 Champagnes :
The 1995, 1996, 1997 and 1998 vintages are all exceptional wines,
with that nose of concentrated essence of chardonnay which is only to
be found in Clos du Mesnil, Selosse N and a few Grand Cru Burgundies.

Stephen Tanzer International Wine Cellar :
Vintage 1999 : 92 / 100 - Very
pure, penetrating,
uncompromising Champagne with strong soil character.
Vintage 1998 : 93 / 100 - A
mouthfilling, suave wine with compelling inner-mouth perfume and aromatic
lift. A wonderful example of chardonnay grown on chalky soil.
Vintage 1996 : 92 / 100 - Very
pure wine of considerable richness and depth. Finishes ripe, vibrant and
long.
Wines & Spirits december 2006 : 92 /100 (Vintage 1999)
Wine's waxy texture melds apple skin with chalk in a youthful, severe
structure. This earthiness gives this a tannic feel, nedding age to develop
its baroque flavor.
Guide Vin GaultMillau : 18 /20 (2000) - 19 /20
(2002)
Complex but delicate, no doubt this is one of the most sought after
champagnes (...) Sumptuous and dense on the palate where effervescence
creates fineness and lightness.
Jacques Dupont - Le Point Magazine
Vintage 2000: 17,5 /20 - Subtly vanilla nose, with
fresh hazelnut, almond and mocha. The mouth is delicate, pastry-like,
round & creamy, well structured and very long. Exemplary.
Vintage 2002: 17 /20 - Vanilla nose, intense, spicy, mouthfilling,
fresh, elegant, very long.
Vinum - december 2002 : 18,5 /20
Fleur de Passion 1996 came out first in a grand tasting of Vintage Champagnes
Blanc de Blancs:
A fabulous, mineral chardonnay. The mousse is first class. This is
unarguably the best wine of this excellent vintage.
Le Figaro Magazine - 20 nov 2005 :
Fleur de Passion 1995 is one the ten favourite wines chosen by Enrico
Bernado "Best sommelier of the world 2005".
