Aged eight years prior to disgorgement, the Brut Seduction is earthy and rich on the nose and palate with notes of mushrooms and nut oils that shine against a backdrop of fresh pear and lemon. Striking in acidity and dry in style, it finishes elegantly on a lemon rind and biscuit note.——A.I.(12/1/2011)—— 88

A creamy, toasty nose of almond and vanilla leads on this elegant sparkler, followed by balanced pear, apple and hazelnut flavors. A more opulent style wine that still has a fine finish—and a touch of spice.——S.K.(12/15/2009)—— 87
