93 AG
Large scaled, creamy and rich, the 2008 Brut Fleuron (Magnum) is super-expressive today. Chamomile, dried flowers and dried pear notes release from the wine's intensely aromatic bouquet. But it is the palate feel and overall intensity here that truly stand out. The 2008 spent a whopping six years on the lees, and that extended time in bottle comes through in the wine's intensity. The 2009 is a blend of fruit from Cramant, Chouilly, Oger (all Grand Crus), plus Cuis and Vertus (both 1er Crus). Dosage is 5 grams per liter. Disgorged: June 2016.- Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media
