The L'Etonnant Monsieur Victor Edition TB.18 is bright, effusive and super-expressive right out of the gate. The 2018 is on the lighter side, as most Champagnes are in this vintage, and yet its balance is sublime. Lemon confit, tangerine peel, spice, chamomile and dried flowers all grace the palate. The long, silky finish is wonderfully inviting. L'Etonnant Monsieur Victor is a blend of one tank of Chétillons and one tank of Réserve Oubliée. ~ (94) Antonio Galloni , Vinous 4-25-2025
