Jeb Dunnuck
Review Date: 12/2025The 2019 Champagne Premier Cru Blanc De Blancs Fleuron Brut is made entirely from Chardonnay grapes from the Grand Cru villages of Cramant, Chouilly, and 25% from the Premier Cru of Cuis. It has structure, intensity, and focus, yet remains crystalline and pure, with notes of candied lime, green apples, pastry dough, and chalky earth. Medium-bodied, it’s bright, refreshing, and long on the palate, with a sustained finish that features a hint of bitter lime pith that’s pleasing and salty. Disgorged in July 2024 with 3.5 grams per liter dosage. Drink 2025-2045. (AF)

An elegant blanc de blancs, showing a finely detailed mousse and lithe, lively acidity. Apple blossom, chalky mineral and oyster shell notes are enticing aromatics lacing flavors of beeswax, poached quince and pear, and biscuit as they expand on the creamy palate and through the lasting finish. This offers the feel of an aperitif style, with the concentration and focus of a more serious example. Disgorged July 2024. Drink now through 2039. (AN)

In a super-ripe yet bewitchingly age-worthy and energetic vintage, Didier Gimonnet's main vintage bottling from Chouilly, Cramant and Cuis shines with effusive apricot, mandarin vibrancy and bristling chalky-mineral tension, containing a compressed, immediately delicious fruitiness with a surprisingly firm structural framing. The crispness of Cuis acts as a lick of restraint in years such as this; it's a cooler Côte des Blancs terroir that can add a kick of acidic focus into a blend. (TH)

A lively and bright blanc de blancs that has lemon peel, sliced apple, croissant and biscuit on the nose. It’s fine and silky on the palate with light bready hints to the citrus fruit. 100% chardonnay from Cramant, Chouilly and Cuis. Disgorged in 2023. Dosage 5g/L. Drink now. (CN)
