Review:
The 2015 Bru Cuvée Gastronome is a very pretty, appealing wine that brings together fruit from a number of sites in the Premier and Grand Crus of the Côtes des Blancs. Sweet floral orchard fruit bring lovely inner sweetness and perfume not to mention impeccable overall balance. The 2015 is very nicely done. Best of all, it will drink well right out of the gate. Disgorged: October 9, 2019.

Review:
Disgorged in July 2018 with five grams per liter dosage, the 2014 Brut 1er Cru Blanc de Blancs Gastronome is showing beautifully, bursting from the glass with an expressive bouquet of ripe citrus fruits, Anjou pear, warm bread and fresh peach. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, fleshy but fine boned, with ripe but racy acids, a pretty core of fruit and an elegantly chalky finish.

Review:
A well-knit Champagne, lightly honeyed, with a creamy mousse and finely meshed flavors of glazed apricot, lemon curd and pastry dough. Backed by refreshing, juicy acidity, this features a clean-cut and aromatic finish of elderflower and oyster shell. Disgorged July 2018. Drink now through 2027.
