Summary
Valentin Leflaive Blanc de Blancs CV 18 30 Extra Brut Champagne is Chardonnay grown in Champagne, bottled as a sparkling wine.
The calibrated figure is built from 126 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 126 reviewers with two or more ratings feeds the raw-average track instead. Its in-cohort standing is measured against 175 other sparkling wines from France, not against the corpus as a whole.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.
- Global percentile
- Where Valentin Leflaive Blanc de Blancs CV 18 30 Extra Brut Champagne lands against every wine we rank.
- In-cohort percentile

- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each wine keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 126.
