VARNIER-FANNIERE
Grand cru Jean Fannière Origine N/V
- 92 points -

The NV Champagne Cuvée de Jean Fannière Origine Extra Brut is floral and pretty, with notes of fresh baked croissant, green apple, pear, and lime blossom. The palate seems to have more tension and feels more dry, with green apple skin, stony and chalky earth, and white flowers. It is still assertive in its style, but I think it has more refinement and finesse. Drink over the next 15 or so years.
