Pierre Gimonnet et Fils Cuvee Fleuron Premier Cru Brut Millesime, Champagne, France 2006 Glera Lado and Torrontes varieties

Lado and Torrontes varieties

Quite a bold and seriously structured wine with excellent depth for the challenging vintage

in spite of the creaminess on the mid-palate

Finish: Persistent finish with flavors of blackberry

it's medium to full-bodied and fleshy but precise

Pierre Gimonnet et Fils Cuvee Fleuron Premier Cru Brut Millesime, Champagne, France 2006 Glera Lado and Torrontes varietiesA graceful blanc de blancs, with vibrant acidity that's well meshed with the velvety mousse and flavors of toasted brioche, apple puree, lemon confit and pickled ginger. Spring blossom and spice hints linger on the chalky, mouthwatering finish. 93 Pts Wine Spectator
