"Entirely from Premier and Grand Cru villages of the Côte des Blancs, the 2017 Champagne Blanc De Blancs Cuvée Fleuron Brut is a bright yellow hue and is compact and powerful, yet crystalline, with notes of crystalized ginger, fresh pear, honey, and lemon candies. Long on the palate, it's elegant with ripe concentration, a core of fresh acidity, and a pristine finish. A superb wine from this vintage, it's great now and will drink well over the next 6-8 years."

"The 2017 Brut Blanc de Blancs Cuvée Fleuron (100% Chardonnay) is soft, open-knit and ready to go. Sourced from 73% Grand Cru sites and 27% 1er Cru sites, there's a good bit of flavor complexity such that the 2017 is already approaching maturity. I would not wait too long on this. Brioche, dried flowers, mint, spice and nut hints linger on the subtle, nicely nuanced finish. Dosage is 5 grams per liter. Disgorged: January 23, 2022."
