Champagne Pierre Gimonnet & Fils Fleuron 2019

Côte des Blancs, Champagne, FranceFleuron, meaning flagship, was created to capture the spirit of the vintage, and represent the year. In 2019, the blend included 39% Cramant, 36% Chouilly, and 25% Cuis, highlighting the texture of the north of the Côtes des Blancs. As always, this was fermented in stainless, with full MLF. My bottle was disgorged in December 2024 with 3.5 g/L. Lemon meringue, green apple, vanilla biscuit flood the chalk lined palate, with a chalk dust framework shaping the creamy, refined mousse through a lingering saline finish. This bottle is incredibly complete at this point, and with ample time ahead.Tasted: 12 July 2026Tasted by: Prices:
