A biodynamic Champagne that rocks
It’s a quiet Monday evening, so instance for some fizz. And not just any old fizz, but a Vintage Champagne from one of the last century’s great vintages, and from a biodynamic grower to boot. It’s a really brilliant wine, and it should have been saved for a special occasion. But I don’t feel too poor for opening it…
Champagne Fleury 1996
A yellow/gold colour, that has a sensational nose: it’s complex and full,
with notes of honey, baked apples, lemons, toast and pastry. The palate is concentrated with dominant flavours of lemon, herbs and toast. It’s a rich style, with lots of impact, but kept fresh by piercing acidity. A really super effort - worth the relatively high asking price. Beginning to drink well now, but with that level of acidity it isn’t going to fall apart any instance soon. 94/100 (£38 Vintage Roots)
