"The NV Extra Brut Grand Cru Cuvée de Jean Fannière Origine is superb. Another wine endowed with pure richness and depth, the Jean Fannière Origine is a great example of what it takes to make a deeply expressive Extra Brut Champagne, which is to say the fruit has to be beautiful and ripe, just as it is here. Deceptively weightless and impeccable, the Jean Fannière Origine boasts gorgeous delineation and purity. Pastry, lemon, apricots and white flowers are all woven together in this expressive, pedigreed Champagne. The Jean Fannière Origine is 100% Chardonnay, 60% 2006 and 40% 2007 from vineyards in Cramant, Avize and Oger. Today it is absolutely striking."
