93 Points - Burghound:
"A wonderfully elegant and ultra-pure nose blends notes of green apple, petrol, discreet yeast, citrus and acacia blossom. There lighter weight flavors possess an almost delicate mouth feel thanks to the soft yet super-fine effervescence that contrasts with the crisp and lemony finish. Like the Conversation, this is on the softer and rounder side of the spectrum but the complexity and overall sense of harmony are first-rate." (09/12)

92 Points - Vinous:
"The NV Brut Nature Blanc de Blancs Murmure 1er Cru is bright, punchy and super-expressive. A taut, linear expression of Chardonnay emerges from the glass, with plenty of citrus oil, floral and saline character. There is just a bit of angularity here, but it all works. The Murmure is a blend of fruit from Vertus and Villeneuve (all 2016), done in a combination of steel and neutral oak." - Antonio Galloni (November 2020)

92 Points - James Suckling:
"A very fresh and chalky expression of chardonnay with a super chalky feel to the palate. Such freshness and liveliness and such purity and focus here. This is really just so drinkable. So crisp. Drink now."
