- PETER LIEM champagneguide.net: "Chartogne-Taillet’s wines are harmonious and deliciously satisfying, and in recent years they have become increasingly more vinous and complex in expression, reflecting the focus on a more sensitive viticulture. They are strongly driven by the terroir of the Massif de St-Thierry, shaped by the sand and clay soils of the region, and they are the finest champagnes being made today in this historically important area north of Reims. While Alexandre Chartogne is not necessarily a partisan of ultra-low dosage, the dosage levels have recently been decreasing here in response to riper fruit, resulting in a more vibrant balance and intensity. Alexandre’s work so far has been very impressive, and he is well on his way to establishing the estate among Champagne's elite."
"This is based on a blend of equal parts chardonnay and pinot noir, with the addition of 8 percent of red wine made from pinot noir in Orizeaux. It’s ripe and fragrant, combining a pungent, vinous depth of fruit with a silky texture and finesse. It turns complex and nuanced on the palate, its long, vibrant flavors anchored by salty, brothy notes of soil. Last tasted: 3/17"

- 90 Punkte Robert Parkers WINE ADVOCATE, William Kelley: „Based on the 2018 vintage, Chartogne's latest NV Brut Rosé was disgorged in May 2021 with around six grams per liter dosage. Offering up aromas of pear, tangerine and plums, it's medium to full-bodied, seamless and fleshy, with a pillowy mousse and a generous core of fruit. It's one of the more immediate, front-loaded wines in the range.“
