Pierre Gimonnet Fleuron Blanc de Blancs Brut 2008

Oyster shell, dried lemon peel and white peach come together with quiet authority on the nose. The May 2016 disgorgement has done its work, this is tightly wound yet fully knit, the extended lees time lending a toasty undercurrent and a sense of real depth beneath the lean, chalky frame. Fine bubbles carry the finish with precision and length. Drinking beautifully now, though there's no hurry.
