2014 Pierre Gimonnet ‘Fleuron’ Blanc de Blancs Brut Champagne

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - "To be released this year, Gimonnet's 2014 Brut Blanc de Blancs Cuvée Fleuron derives from lieux-dits in Cramant and Chouilly that produce more reserved wines, and there are no vins clairs from Oger in the blend. It's showing brilliantly, unwinding in the glass with aromas of crisp green orchard fruit, lemon oil, freshly baked sourdough and pastry cream, followed by a medium to full-bodied, layered and textural but tensile palate, built around an incisive spine of acidity and concluding with a long, mineral finish."


Vinous - "The 2014 Brut Cuvée Fleuron is a gorgeous wine that is just starting to show the first signs of maturity in its aromas and flavors. Pear, marzipan, spice, brioche and dried flowers all meld together effortlessly. Soft, silky contours add immediacy and sheer appeal. Dosage is 5 grams per liter. Disgorged: December 21, 2020."


Decanter - "The 2014 Fleuron from Pierre Gimonnet is a very pretty and expressive Champagne. It has citrus, floral and mineral notes with some smoky hints. Bright saline notes give energy to the flavours of lemon peel, mint and flowers, with a pure and classy texture."
