anise and smoky minerals on the deeply scented now
Reduction masks the underlying fruit
seamless and concentrated
focused and velvety finish
but they should go much further in future years
Duval Leroy, Femme Brut Zero anise and smoky minerals onCompared to the 2000, the 1996 Femme offers a touch more vibrancy and purity in a simillary rich, layered, complex style. Stone fruits, beautiful minerality, hints of charcoal, as well as a touch of brioche and nuttiness, all flow to a textured, balanced, beautifully long and layered Champagne thats drinking brilliantly today.
