Cuvée Fleuron Brut 1er Cru Blanc de Blancs, Pierre Gimonnet 2009

One of the many highlights in this range, the 2009 Brut Fleuron is absolutely fabulous. The radiance and richness of the vintage adds an extra kick of textural richness and overall intensity that works beautifully here. A tropically-leaning expression of fruit marries with the classic Gimonnet emphasis on tension in a complete, deeply satisfying Champagne that hits all the right notes. This is a fabulous showing. Fruit sources are Chouilly, Cramant and Oger (all Grand Crus) and Cuis (a 1er Cru). Dosage is 4.5 grams per liter. Disgorged: February 2016. (Drink between 2016-2026)
