The 2016 Pierre Gimonnet & Fils Cuvée Fleuron Brut 1er Cru Blanc de Blancs Magnum (1500ml) is the house’s flagship vintage Champagne, crafted only in the best years from a blend of top Premier and Grand Cru Chardonnay parcels across the Côte des Blancs. The magnum format enhances freshness, complexity and aging potential, making it ideal for cellaring and special occasions. The nose is refined and expressive, showing notes of lemon, green apple and white flowers, layered with hints of brioche, almond and chalky minerality.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with fine mousse and vibrant acidity, delivering citrus and orchard fruit flavours supported by a precise mineral backbone. The finish is long, elegant and persistent, combining richness with freshness and finesse. The style is pure, crystalline and structured, with excellent balance and depth.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a standout grower Champagne and a great alternative to big-house prestige cuvées. The magnum format makes it perfect for celebrations while also offering superior aging potential. Drink now with aeration or cellar for 8–12+ years. Ideal with oysters, lobster or fine seafood dishes.
