Description

Didier Gimonnet's cult Blanc de Blancs releases from the Côte des Blancs are amongst the most thrilling, cellar-worthy expressions of grower Champagne. Significantly, they offer some of the most compelling value in the region, including sought-after Grand Cru releases.

“The style of Gimonnet is built on freshness and elegance on the one hand, and an intense but refined fruit which is always intertwined with the chalky minerality of the top terroirs the domaine cultivates. Champagnes from Gimonnet can age terrifically well.”
Stephan Reinhardt, Wine Advocate.

"Hailing from Chouilly's Mont Aigu, Didier Gimonnet's picture of Chouilly in 2016 opens with some up-front concentration of juicy pineapple, roasted apple and honey, before unfurling gently with some of the compact power of the year upon an airy, fluffy mousse and touches of citric bitterness. As per the year as a whole it is bright rather than tense or acid-driven, with energy up front rather than built with tremendous length – although there is the intensity here to take medium-term ageing." 93 points, Tom Hewson, Decanter.
