CRITIC REVIEWS
Antonio Galloni
The NV Grand Cuvée 163 Edition is wonderfully open-knit and giving, qualities that make it a terrific choice for drinking now and over the next 30 or so years. Pastry, apricot, lemon confit, chamomile and white flowers, along with soft contours, give the wine its inviting, alluring personality. There is more than enough energy and overall freshness to support several decades of fine drinking. Even so, the 163 is virtually impossible to resist at this early stage.
William Kelley
A complex bouquet of iodine, mandarin, warm biscuits, dried flowers, citrus oil and anise introduces the NV Grande Cuvee 163eme Édition, a wine that's built around the 2007 vintage and is beginning to display some very attractive evolution. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated, with a ripe but racy spine of acidity, chalky structure and a long, penetrating finish.

Pinot Noir 44%, Chardonnay 35% and Pinot Meunier 21%. Base vintage 2007. Reserve wine 40%. 7 years on lees, disgorged spring 2014. Dosage 6 g/l. Another hot year. First edition of Grande Cuvée to have the number on the label. Very pale. Pure, creamy and lightly toasty. Generous and yet so piercing in its freshness, perfectly balanced even now. Youthful, a little bit of toasty reduction. So bright, juicy and refined. Tight with long aftertaste of clementine. We also tasted a second bottle of the same wine that had been disgorged earlier but was not labelled with a number. It showed more obvious aged flavours - charred toast, 'golden', a touch of resin. Long and powerful and not likely to age as log as the numbered bottle. (JH)
