There is a more rounded approach with the NV Champagne Cuvée Saint Denis Brut, with lemon curd, pastry cream, and baked green apples. This continues to the palate, with a rounded sweetness of apple pie, yellow flowers, and a broadness and expansiveness on the palate. This might be my favorite in the range, as it is balanced in its opulence and has a lot of decadent charm. Drink now or over the next 10-15 years. Rating : 93+

The October 2019 disgorgement of Varnier-Fannière's NV Brut Grand Cru Cuvée Saint-Denis continues to show very nicely, revealing aromas of ripe citrus fruit, yellow apple, fresh apricot, wheat toast and marzipan, followed by a full-bodied, broad and powerful palate that's elegantly fleshy and nicely concentrated. It's an expressive, textural Champagne that exemplifies the house style.
