1er cru Fleuron 2017

- 94 points -

Entirely from Premier and Grand Cru villages of the Côte des Blancs, the 2017 Champagne Blanc De Blancs Cuvée Fleuron Brut is a bright yellow hue and is compact and powerful, yet crystalline, with notes of crystalized ginger, fresh pear, honey, and lemon candies. Long on the palate, it’s elegant with ripe concentration, a core of fresh acidity, and a pristine finish. A superb wine from this vintage, it’s great now and will drink well over the next 6-8 years.
