Pierre Gimonnet & Fils Fleuron Brut Blanc de Blancs 1er Cru (1.5L)

From Champagne

Vintage:	2010
Description:	93 Ws / 92 Ag / 92 Wa / 17 Jr. Featuring rich accents of pastry, chopped hazelnut and lemon curd, this well-cut Champagne offers a finely detailed bead and a delicate skein of aromatic spice, layered with poached apricot and white cherry fruit. Minerally finish. Disgorged April 2018. Drink now through 2029. 30 cases imported. - Alison Napjus, Wine Spectator. The 2010 Brut Blanc de Blancs Fleuron is a very beautiful wine. Light tropical notes, passionfruit, mint, orange peel and spice are all lifted in an airy, understated Champagne that has so much to offer. The 2010 is not an obvious wine, but rather a Champagne that speaks to finesse and nuance above all else. Disgorged: December, 2017. - Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media. The 2010 Brut Blanc de Blancs Cuvée Fleuron included some wine from Oger-which Gimonnet has subsequently eliminated from the blend, feeling it matures too fast and dominates the style of the blend. Offering up aromas of pear, peach, wheat toast and mandarin, it's medium to full-bodied, rich but incisive, with a youthfully frothy mousse and a saline finish. - William Kelley, Wine Advocate. A little looser than the 2012. Nicely balanced and very appetising and direct. - Jancis Robinson
