ASHWIN'S REFLECTION:

The maison dates back to 1935, and Fluteau makes a proper statement with this millésime (vintage) expression which carries a beautiful complexity on the nose and palate → floral, mineraly, nutty, fruity, bready. It’s rare to find a Champagne that hits across so many dimensions. The long lees aging (over 5 years) plus the bottle-aging that follows allows this wine to shine at its highest potential.
