Consistent blend of yeast, cheese, and apricot creates a concentrated and dimensional flavor profile

Wine that would have been delightful had it been consumed 10 or so years ago, when it was still bracing and refreshing. Although it had developed a distinct sherry flavor, it was still seamlessly drinkable. Despite being enjoyed in its entirety by myself, my wife's disapproval led to a rather unpleasant morning after.

Well blended blend of citrus, cream, almond, and brioche, with a balanced and polished finish.

What the web is saying

Fernand Lemaire Brut Champagne Premier Cru is praised for its complex blend of yeast, citrus, and nutty flavors, with a polished finish. While some appreciate its depth and refreshing qualities, others find it has developed a sherry-like taste over time. The champagne is noted for its harmonious balance, with hints of apricot, almond, and brioche, making it a delightful aperitif.

Voss Experts4.5

This Premier Cru Champagne presents a luminous straw hue, with a persistent, fine mousse that speaks to its quality. On the nose, it offers a sophisticated bouquet of green apple, white peach, and freshly baked brioche, underscored by subtle hints of almond and chalky minerality. The palate is elegantly structured, showcasing a harmonious interplay of vibrant acidity and creamy texture. Flavors of citrus zest and quince are complemented by a delicate autolytic character, leading to a long, refined finish. This Champagne exemplifies the finesse and complexity expected from a Premier Cru, making it a benchmark for the region.

We are 50+ wine professionals (sommeliers, buyers, MW candidates) across the US, UK, France, Greece, Italy, and beyond. We review wines via blind tastings with a standardized rubric, using both 100-point and 5-star scales.
