Franck Bonville Grand Cru Pur Oger Grand Cru 2016

93+ Wine AdvocateWith a brut dosage, the 2016 Pur Oger Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs offers up inviting aromas of butter, lemon oil, menthol, crisp orchard fruits and spring flowers, followed by a medium to full-bodied, fleshy and enveloping palate that’s generous and vinous, finishing with a mineral, penetrating finish. It’s denser and fleshier than its counterpart, the 2016 Pur Avize.Our Tasting Note: For me this was the most powerful of the 3 Pur we tasted, though you could argue I am splitting hairs to an extent. Med gold color here too. A thick, persistent mousse of tiny bubbles. Also a pronounced nose of red apples, lemons and limes and their rinds, an intriguing orange blossom note, the malo plays in the back more, a touch of biscuit here too. The palate has med+ acidity and body, the pronounced flavors sail into a long, fresh, mineral and fruit finish. Also outstanding, and this was tasted out of order as we asked to try it after Les Belle Voyes!Bonville’s “Pur Oger,” from planti
