Champagne Grand cru Cuvée Jean Fannière Origine N/V

- 94 points -

"The NV Extra-Brut Cuvée de Jean Fannière Origine is built on a core of pure vertical structure. Intense, deep and resonant in the glass, the Origine boasts marvelous intensity and breath. The expression of Chardonnay is bold and powerful, with a level of richness that suggests vinification in oak (there is none). This vivid, impeccable Champagne will deliver considerable pleasure for years. The current release is 100% Chardonnay, 70% Cramant and 30% Oger, equal parts 2009 and 2008."

Antonio Galloni, November 2014
