Beautifully pure, floral nose. On the palate a racy, energetic feel with nuances of stonefruit, acacia, brioche and underlying minerality. Lovely purity and vitality run like a vein through the wine, which has a long, crisp, slighty nutty finish. Exemplary Blanc de Blancs and great apéritif style.

Again benchmark floral notes on the nose. On the palate a greater weight and intensity from the combination of a superb vintage and Grand Cru fruit. An extra layer of glycerol supports the honeyed, toasty character and haunting mineral notes. Very long, firm and rich on the finish.

Lovely mature honeyed and biscuity notes on the nose. The palate bursts with a cocktail of honey, nuts, minerals and buttered toast. Very long and rich, but with rapier underlying acidity and absence of dosage this makes for an amazing lift and vitality on the finish.

The Gimonnet family have been growing vines and making Champagne since 1750, but it was the period between the two world wars which saw the greatest development of this house under the control of Pierre Gimonnet. From 1955, his son, Michel, took the philosophy of focusing specifically on vineyard sites and expressions of terroir as the benchmark and ethos for the production of Pierre Gimonnet Champagne. Today, the house of Gimonnet is run by Pierre’s grandsons – Didier and Olivier. They have continued to pursue the ethos of focusing on specific vineyard sites and expressions of terroir. Their meticulous attention to detail – demonstrated particularly by Didier’s vineyard record book - ensures individual wines of the highest quality.

Champagne Pierre Gimonnet et Fils is a rare phenomenon in Champagne with 25 hectares of vines planted exclusively with Chardonnay, from which they produce refined Blanc de Blancs cuvées of distinction. Over the last 3 generations, they have refined the Gimonnet style, creating a marriage of expressions between the Chardonnay grape and the unique terroir of their wonderful Cuis Premier Cru, Cramant and Chouilly Grand Cru vineyards.

Gimmonet is the only house in Champagne to preserve all reserve wines in bottle. Vinification is carried out in small tanks of 25-125 hl only, allowing the characteristics of each, small vineyard parcel to be preserved. Dosage is restricted to a maximum of 8g/lt to ensure that the delicate expressions of terroir and grape are not masked.
