Manon Boutillez-Guer Extrait de Terroir Les Huchettes NV Champagne

Tomas Rivera — This is the real deal

9/10

I've been getting more into grower Champagnes lately and Manon Boutillez-Guer is a name worth knowing. The Extrait de Terroir has genuine structure and you can taste the terroir coming through. Finish lingers in the best way — kept reaching for my glass. One of the better NVs I've had this year.

Andre Dubois — Decent but expected more

7/10

Saw this on a restaurant wine list and went for it. It's well made — clean, balanced, pleasant length on the finish. But at this price point I wanted something that really wowed me and it was more quiet and understated. Maybe I need to give it another chance outside a noisy restaurant.

Farah Abboud — Proper Champagne, not just bubbles

8/10

The guy at my local wine shop recommended this and I'm glad he did. There's actual depth here — proper fruit and acidity, not just fizz in a fancy bottle. Needed about ten minutes after pouring to really show what it could do. Would buy again for sure.
