TASTING NOTE: Rarely has a 1995 Champagne presented itself with the kind of drive and structural power of this Fleury. With acidity that may bring tears to your eyes, this is not for the faint of heart. That extreme acidity tingles in the mouth, leaving flavors of pineapple, caramel candied lime and ginger in its wake. It requires crudo or sashimi - belly tuna would be insanely great with this wine. Score - 95. (wineandspiritsmagazine.com, Dec. 2010)
Fresh acidity finds
fine integration in this gracefully
aging Champagne, supporting
creamy flavors of buttered brioche
and toasted almond, with a touch of
truffle and a pretty dried floral note.
Elegant, with refined texture and a
lingering, nut-tinged finish. Drink now
through 2020.
