Franck Bonville - Champagne Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Pur Oger 2018 (Pre-arrival) (750ml)

Wine Advocate 93
"The 2018 Pur Oger Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs, with only 2,000 bottles produced, unfurls from the glass with notes of white flowers, lemon oil, blanched almonds and ripe orchard fruits. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and enveloping, it's perfectly balanced, with a vinous texture and a long, saline finish. Vinified in stainless steel, it was matured under cork and disgorged with a dosage of 4.1 grams per liter. While the 2013 and 2017 vintages were not produced, the 2018 vintage showcases the meticulous craftsmanship of this limited release."
Rosenthal Wine Merchant
"Bonville’s “Pur Oger,” from plantings in the Les Noyerots and Les Rumigny vineyards, showcases this cru’s generosity and roundness in comparison to the “Pur Mesnil”—a reflection of the richer topsoil to be found here. Like the “Pur Mesnil,” this spends five full years on its lees after alcoholic and malolactic fermentation in steel. Elegant yet ample, with notes of pit fruits and a classic pastry-like element, it offers spectacular balance and poise on its relatively broad frame."
