93-94 points Jeb Dunnuck (Audrey Frick)
Composed of equal parts Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, the 2022 Champagne L'Égarée comes from the top of the hills in Haute Frillon and was aged in Stockinger barrels. Brilliant medium yellow in color, it is refreshing and vertical, with bright green apple followed by pomegranate and fresh red fruit. Medium-bodied, it has a lively, focused mousse and excellent drive, with stony minerality lingering on the clean finish. This was made without added sulfites or fining. Production was 2,000 bottles. Drink 2026-2038.
